Dr Jonny: I have no idea why chicken and apricots go together so well, but they are clearly a match made in taste-combo heaven. Two medium apricots have more than 1,300 IU's of vitamin A, 766 IU's of beta-carotene, and a healthy dose of a plant chemical called beta-cruyptoxanthin, which can reduce the risk for lung cancer by more than 30 percent and the risk for arthritis by 4 percent. This dish is on the leaner side because we used all white meat (slightly lower in calories and fat), but the natural sugars and acids in the juices help keep this divine dish as tender as you'd want it to be.
Scatter the onion slices and grated carrot on bottom of crock pot. Place chicken on top.
In a small bowl, whisk the nectar, mustard, tamari, lemon juice, and zest together. Stir in the dried apricots and pour over chicken. Cook on high for 2-3 hours or low for 3-4 hours or until chicken is cooked through but still juicy. Stir to baste before serving.
