This crock pot recipe for apricot chicken is one that I used to make in the 70s, when I first started using my crock pot .  Tastes have changed since then, and I know mine has a lot, but I recently made this dish again and was surprised that it still tastes just as it did back then and I enjoyed it just as much.  You can use chicken breast or chicken legs for this recipe.  I used chicken breast but I think next time I will try the legs instead.

Apricot Chicken

2 lbs (1 kg ) chicken breast (cut into cubes) or chicken legs
15 oz (410-425g) can apricot nectar
1 pkt (1.5 oz)) french onion soup mix (Maggi or Lipton)
2 teasps curry powder (optional but recommended)
1 teasp ginger powder
15 oz (425g) can apricot halves - drained
2 tabs sour cream (optional)
chopped parsley to garnish

Put all ingredients except the last three into the crock pot slow cooker and stir well.  Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Half way through the cooking time add the apricot halves and stir through.  When cooked, thicken if necessary and stir through the sour cream.  Serve with rice and vegetables and garnish with the parsley.
