This Moroccan classic is known for its exotic blend of flavourings: sweetness from the dried fruit and honey and a spicy warmth from the cinnamon.

Ingredients

Dried apricot halves

32 half/halves

Fat free chicken broth

1 cup(s)

Uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast

1 pound(s), cut into 1-inch cubes

All-purpose flour

1 tbsp(s)

Onion

1 medium, chopped

Ground cinnamon

Honey

1 tbsp(s)

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, bring apricots and chicken broth to a simmer. Set aside.
  2. Coat a large, nonstick saucepan with cooking spray and place over high heat; toss chicken with flour and then sauté chicken until golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in onion, reduce heat to medium-low and cook until onions are very tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in cinnamon and honey.
