NEW VIDEO!!! It’s Apricot season and this Chicken is AMAZING!! Super easy and so delicious, this is the perfect solution for dinner tonight!

I know that for lots of the country, turning your oven in on is probably not sounding that awesome right now? But this might be worth it. Especially since you can leave this particular dish in the oven for a loooong time, and therefore not be in the direct vicinity while it’s cooking. I like to go outside and do exciting things like deadhead flowers or go to the cold basement and fold laundary. Glamorous, no?

Apricot Dijon Roast Chicken

Whatever it is that you do or don’t do, this chicken will be worth it. The sweet and tart of of the apricots and the spicy Dijon make this chicken totally irresistible. Pia turned her nose up at it whole heartedly when I was preparing it, but as soon as the smell of that sweet roast chicken hit her, she came running to the kitchen to drool over the scent and the browning bird in the oven.

Apricot Dijon Roast Chicken

It turned out incredibly juicy and flavorful and when served with the roasted red onions and apricots it was a perfect mouthful every time. Enjoy!
