Roasted Chicken with Honey, Apricots and Cashews

Written by Published on Updated on September 6, 2019 in Mediterranean cuisine

Hello,

I was never a red meat lover, so I often tried to avoid it when I was younger.  I remember my mother saying that I had to eat meat because it was good for me.  (Ummm nope)  If I were to eat any type of meat it would always be white either Chicken or Turkey.  In the Greek household meat is defiitely found at least 3 times a week.   I actually have friends who eat Steak and fries daily!!???   

With so many Vegetables and  different recipes from around the world why would choose to eat red meat every single day, oh and of course let’s not forget the fries…their response is always the same,  “I don’t like to eat anything else”.  I look at them with this glare of “are you seriously for real”????  I gave up trying to fight this one a long time ago, 🙂 so while I was searching through my recipes the other day I remembered this delicious fruitty – nutty forgotten recipe.  🙂

Enjoy your weekend everyone 🙂

INGREDIENTS:

1  Chicken

1/2 cup dried Apricots

1 Red Bell Pepper

1/4 cup Cashews

1/2 cup Honey

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie

    Only chicken and turkey for me, too! Thanks for this recipe!

    Q: I don’t like cashew; are almonds a good substitution?
