Here’s another ode of slow cooker love – Slow Cooker Apricot Chicken! It’s the perfect apricot chicken recipe!

See, we make chicken in this household, a lot. So, to beat the usual and ordinary, I have to find alternate ways to make chicken. Like this wonderful Slow Cooker Chicken Marsala.

Or else the same old is just boring, and I run the risk of the kids turning up their noses. Not out of dislike, but of repetition. And, we all don’t handle that very well at all.

Slow Cooker Apricot Chicken is easy, fast, and very delicious. It’s a change-up from the usual, and packs a punch when it comes to flavour. Plus, with the season right now, it’s a sweet taste that screams summer.

Slow Cooker Apricot Glazed Chicken recipe

At the same time, there are no lazy days of summer around here. I still need dinners that fit the schedule in June, when we seem to be the busiest. That’s where the beauty of this recipe comes in.

Slow cooked meals are very welcome in my home, since we’re usually running like mad right after school, until bedtime.

That being said, I’ll also make this when school is out, so our dinner can cook while we’re taking in other things. It’ll be nice to spend the day at the splash park and come home to a dinner that is underway.

I like to side this recipe with seasonal veggies and perhaps some rice. Save room for dessert though! It is summer after all. 😉

I have some dried apricots on hand……would I dice them to use them?
Or must I hydrate them first, to use them?

I’ve been looking for some new slow cooker recipes and this sounds delicious

I love the fact that this is made in a slow cooker, much nicer than standing over a hot stove in the summer :-). Think I might cut back on the horseradish, hot sauce and worcestershire sauce, I like my food mild 🙂
