Method of preparing the chicken:
-
In a bowl, mix the apricot preserve, the mustard, ginger and cumin. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and set aside. Toss the chicken in the apricot marinade and set aside.
-
Preheat oven to 425°F.
-
Oil an oven-proof pan over medium flame. Add the turnip and shallots and fry for 2 minutes. Add the dried prunes, apricots, and chicken, skin side up.
-
Add 1/4 cup water and bring to a boil. Cover with a lid and cook for 6 minutes.
-
Remove the lid and insert the pan into the oven, on the middle rack. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until vegetables become tender and the chicken browns.
-
Add the vinegar and some water if the gravy needs thinning, and serve.
Chef's Tip:
The turnip can also be swapped for parsnip or carrots.
