This dish is a perfect combination of vegetables, meat, and dried fruit. The flavor is multifaceted, sweet and spicy—perfect for a weekend dinner. The chicken and vegetable side dish are cooked in one pan, first on the stovetop, and then baked in the oven. So, choose a suitable ovenproof pan. The glaze for the chicken thighs is made with apricot jam, mustard, ginger, and cumin. After baking, it turns into a delicious, sticky crust with savory notes. The vegetable side dish includes parsnips and shallots—a healthier alternative to the usual potatoes.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Position the oven rack in the middle and preheat to 220°C (425°F). Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over high heat. Add the shallots and parsnips and cook until golden, shaking the pan, for 2 minutes.
  2. In a bowl, combine apricot jam, mustard, ginger, and cumin. Season the chicken with salt and black pepper and toss with the apricot glaze.

  3. Scatter the dried fruit in the skillet. Place the chicken on top, skin side up. Add 1/4 cup water and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer until heated through, 6 minutes. Then remove the lid and transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake until the chicken and vegetables are tender and golden, 20-25 minutes.
  4. Push the chicken to the sides of the pan and stir the vinegar into the juices at the bottom of the pan (add up to 2 tablespoons of water if the sauce is too thick). Serve straight from the pan.
