Crispy Apricot Bone-In Chicken with Bone Broth Pan Sauce
Bone in is better than boneless. Skin on is better than skinless. It’s just my opinion BUT I think I’m right.
It’s a good one. Simple, delicious with different layers of flavors and with crispy skinned chicken! The bone in chicken breasts are great – they hold onto flavors, stay moist, are a huge meal and have crispy skin (how many times can I tell you about the skin?!)
Brown the skin first, add some bone broth and into the oven for the rest of the cooking time. Add some apricots and fresh herbs…oh that pan sauce, it’s a good one. Roasted vegetables, simple side salad, rice or even egg noodles would be great along side.
More crispy chicken skin!
Crispy Apricot Bone-In Chicken with Bone Broth Pan Sauce
- Total Time: 35 minutes
- Yield: 4-6 1x
- Diet: Gluten Free
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (or cooking oil of your choice)
- 4 bone in chicken breasts, patted dry
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 yellow onion, sliced
- 3 cups chicken bone broth, separated (I used Bonefide Provisions)
- 1 heaping cup dried apricots
- 2 scallions, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400F.
- Using a heavy duty oven safe pan (cast iron works great), heat the coconut oil over high heat. Sprinkle the chicken breast on both sides with the salt, pepper and thyme. When the pan is smoky hot, add the chicken breasts skin side down. Cook for at least 4-6 minutes or until the skin is very brown but not brunt or black. Turn over and turn the heat down to medium. Add the sliced onion to the pan and cook for 2 more minutes.
- Add 2 cups of the bone broth to the pan – add the broth to the side of the pan, NOT over the chicken skin. Add the apricots to the broth too. Put the whole pan into the oven for 12-15 minutes or until the chicken is just cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and add the remaining 1 cup of bone broth. Serve with the pan sauce and garnish with the chopped scallions.
