Fruit Jam Chicken

Submitted by: KITHKINCAID
Fruit Jam Chicken

Introduction

This was meant to be apricot chicken, but all I had in the fridge was a bottle of fig jam, so it became fig chicken. It's so good I think you could probably do it with any flavour of jam you please! This was meant to be apricot chicken, but all I had in the fridge was a bottle of fig jam, so it became fig chicken. It's so good I think you could probably do it with any flavour of jam you please!
Number of Servings: 6

Ingredients

    5 Chicken Thighs, bone and skin removed (mine were frozen)
    2 cups Carrots, grated
    1 jar (10oz) St. Dalfour Fig Jam (or apricot preserves is what the recipe called for)
    2 cloves Garlic, minced
    1 tbsp Onion Powder or Onion Flakes
    1 tbsp Grey Poupon Dijon Mustard
    1 tbsp China Lily Soya Sauce
    1 tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
    2 tsp ginger (I used fresh minced, you could also use ground dried)

Directions

This is a slow cooker crock pot recipe and it is a CINCH! It's like the guy on the infomercial says - 'Set It and Forget It' - well until the smell reminds you that there is something VERY yummy for dinner!

Line the bottom of the crockpot with the carrots. Put the chicken thighs on top (mine were frozen solid). Mix the remaining ingredients in a bowl and spread evenly over the chicken. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 4-6 hours. Mine was done in 4 hours on high.

Makes 6 servings. Delicious!

Serve over rice and with a side salad for a complete dinner.

    Cooking chicken thighs at a low temperature straight from frozen is very unsafe. Thaw the chicken either in the fridge or in a bowl under very cold running water! (USDA.gov: "Do not cook frozen chicken in a slow cooker" http://www.fsis.usda.gov/fact_
    sheets/chicken_from_farm_t
    o_table/index.asp#13 ) - 6/8/12

    I made this once as written and it was really good, but the 2nd time I made it,used breasts & I added a little less of some of the seasonings and jam, to our taste. (little less garlic, red pepper, and dijon) and it came out perfect for our taste. - 2/7/12

    When you make slow cooker recipe's in the oven you need to convert the cook times. I think 1 hour in the slow cooker = 20 minutes in the oven. you can look that up online. And remember to cover it! - 12/15/11

    this sounds really yummy, but i don't have a crockpot... any idea how i could make it in a regular pot? i think maybe baking it covered would work... i may give it a try anyway, but since i've never eaten or even seen anything cooked in a crockpot i have no idea what the end result should be like... - 11/22/11

    Hey YELLOWPENGUIN! Definitely put a crockpot on your Christmas list this year! They're relatively cheap and they are a lifesaver when it comes to cooking healthy dinners. But yes, you can bake this dish in a 325 degree oven for about 25 minutes - you just don't get the benefit of a slow simmer!

    Made this for dinner last night and loved it. Used Apricot Preserves and it was tasty - not to spicy for us. Will try Blackberry jam next time. Cooked in just under 4 hours on high in my crockpot - used a meat thermometer to be sure it was done. - 1/21/12

    Agree with BOOKWYRMB, too much sugar for those who are into healthy liver function. Try using fresh mango and a little raw agave or coconut nectar instead of jam. (don't use processed agave; it is just as bad as HFCS) And use free range chicken; commercial chicken is full of toxins and hormones - 6/1/12

    I really enjoyed this. I made it with thighs, powdered ginger, and raspberry seedless whole fruit preserves. Maybe the spice was a bit too much for my kids- I'll back off on the 2 tsp of powdered ginger if I try this on them. - 12/24/11

    I used homemade peach jam, 8 oz. bottle After cooking many hours, the chicken is so tender that it easily breaks apart with a spoon, thus easily providing 6 servings. - 9/20/12

    I used chix breasts and omitted the onion powder (I didn't have it on hand) and the fresh ginger (because I used a fig and ginger jam). Delish and easy! Bought pre-shredded carrots from the grocery. Cooked for about 3 hours and was perfect. - 5/12/12

    I made this last night with Black Raspberry Jam. It was delicious. If I made it again, I would use less red pepper because I can't handle spice, but my bf loved it just the way it was. We will definitely make it again! - 1/8/12

    I cannot for the life of me, figure out why anyone would want to put something like jam that is so full of fructose or HFCS (goes straight to the liver where it is made into body fat) or sugar (causes aging and other effects of toxic glycation) on food that is delicious when eaten without it. - 2/2/12
