Apricot Chicken Is A Family-Favorite Passover Meal

There’s one sweet, savory, and saucy entrée that graces my family’s Passover seder each year: my mother’s delectable apricot chicken. It’s an annual tradition we’ve been eagerly enjoying since the 1980s, as comforting as mom’s long, warm embrace when we first arrive at her house.

While we have come to associate this dish with a “fancy” holiday dinner, in reality, it only requires a few basic ingredients that are easy to keep stocked in your pantry, and the preparation time is minimal.

Over the years, I’ve wondered why we only break out this recipe for a singular special occasion, as it could easily be added into our regular dinnertime rotation on a random Tuesday—but there’s just something about preserving this preserves-laden entrée for our ritual feast that feels right.
