The Australian version is made simply with chicken, apricot nectar, a packet of French onion soup and tinned apricots. It is also a healthy chicken dish that can be made even healthier with the addition of vegetables making it a one pot meal!įrom talking to my American friends apricot chicken in Australia is a bit different from apricot chicken in America.
