INGREDIENTS
- 4 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
- 2 tsp salt separated
- 1 1/2 tsp pepper separated
- 1 cup sliced leek
- 1/2 lb apricots
- 1/4 cup chopped sage
- 2 tbsp rosemary
- 1 cup orzo
- 2 tbsp orange juice
- 2 cups chicken stock
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 375°F.
In a 10- or 12-inch cast-iron (or oven-ready) skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium. Sprinkle the chicken thighs with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp pepper on all sides.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken, skin side down. Sear until the chicken skin is deep golden brown and releases from the skillet easily, 6-8 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add prepared leeks. Sauté until soft and just beginning to turn golden, 5-7 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and add orzo, apricots, rosemary, and sage. Stir to combine and add the orange juice and chicken stock. Nestle the chicken thighs skin side up. Add 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper.
Bake in preheated oven until the orzo is tender and the chicken thighs reach 160°F, 30-40 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to rest 10 minutes before serving.

Quick & Easy Apricot Chicken Casserole Recipe
This is a quick go-to dinner — it uses ingredients you usually have in the pantry and is quick and easy. It freezes and reheats well too, handy for those nights where you can’t be bothered cooking but still want something nourishing.
Here's how to make this recipe:
Prep time: 5 minutes, Cook time: 25 minutes, Serves: 4
Recipe ingredients
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (we love Olivado)
- 1 whole free-range chicken, cut into pieces (we love Waitoa)
- 2 onions, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 3 tbsp tomato paste (we love Chantal Organics)
- 1 tbsp sweet chilli chicken sauce (we love Lee Kum Kee)
- 1 can chopped tomatoes (we love Chantal Organics)
- 1 400g can apricot halved, drained
- 1 cup chicken stock (we love Continental)
- 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme (we love Superb Herb)
We made this dish in a Le Creuset Signature Cast Iron Round Casserole.
Cooking method
1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan or saucepan and brown chicken pieces for 2-3 minutes on both sides until lightly browned. Set chicken aside.
2. Drizzle a little more oil into the same pan and fry onion and garlic until soft, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add back the chicken, along with the tomato paste, sweet chilli sauce, herbs, tomatoes, apricots, water and chicken stock. Roughly break up the apricots with a wooden spoon.
4. Stir all ingredients together and partially cover with a lid.
5. Simmer on medium heat for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Serve hot with rice, couscous or mash, and greens. Sprinkle fresh thyme on top.
