Steps:
- Soak the apricots in hot water for 10 minutes. Drain and then mince. Mix the apricots, raisins, peanuts, shallots, honey, mint and parsley until they hold together. Slice the chicken horizontally and slightly flatten with a mallet. Place 1/4 cup of mixture in each breast. Fold the breast together. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and place on a medium hot grill with soaked applewood chips. Grill for 4 minutes. Turn 1/4 turn for 2 minutes to mark breast and then flip the breast over and cook for 4 minutes.
- Combine all the ingredients in a medium size saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the volume is reduced to 3/4 cup.
- Combine the apples, celery, grapes, cherries and peanuts in a large bowl. Toss thoroughly. In a separate bowl, whisk together the yogurt, sour cream, peanut butter, and all but 2 teaspoons of the parsley. Fold the dressing into the salad and season with salt and pepper. Serve garnished with the remaining parsley.
CHICKEN TAGINE WITH APRICOTS AND ALMONDS
Steps:
- Stir together ground cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons oil in a large bowl. Add chicken and turn to coat well.
- Heat butter and 1 tablespoon oil in base of tagine (or in skillet), uncovered, over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then brown half of chicken, skin sides down, turning over once, 8 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Brown remaining chicken in same manner, adding any spice mixture left in bowl.
- Add onion and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt to tagine and cook, uncovered, stirring frequently, until soft, about 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes. Tie cilantro and parsley into a bundle with kitchen string and add to tagine along with 1/2 cup water, chicken, and any juices accumulated on plate. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 30 minutes.
- While chicken cooks, bring honey, remaining cup water, cinnamon stick, and apricots to a boil in a 1- to 2-quart heavy saucepan, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until apricots are very tender (add more water if necessary). Once apricots are tender, simmer until liquid is reduced to a glaze, 10 to 15 minutes.
- While apricots cook, heat remaining 1/4 cup oil in a small skillet over moderate heat and cook almonds, stirring occasionally, until just golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
- Ten minutes before chicken is done, add apricot mixture to tagine. Discard herbs and cinnamon stick, then serve chicken sprinkled with almonds on top.
CHICKEN WITH APRICOTS
Chicken with dried apricots is hardly a new idea, but I had issues with its most common interpretations. For one thing, they were almost always cloying; the routine addition of cinnamon and cloves does nothing to offset the apricots' sweetness and makes the dish taste more like dessert than dinner. For another, they were usually stewed rather than braised, turning the chicken skin sodden. I brown the chicken in a nonstick skillet with no fat, and that works well. A tablespoon or two of butter, stirred in at the end, will make the sauce richer. Or you can render some bacon, remove it, and brown the chicken in the bacon fat, then crumble the bacon and stir it in at the end of cooking. Finally, any dried fruit can be used, or a combination; with the short cooking time, even prunes will remain intact. But be aware that fruit dried with sulfur (the common method) becomes tender much faster than fruit dried organically, which needs a couple of hours of soaking before cooking.

Steps:
- Combine apricots in a bowl with vinegar, wine and 1/4 cup water. Let soak while you brown the chicken.
- Turn the heat to medium high under a 12-inch nonstick skillet, and add chicken pieces, skin side down. Cook, rotating but not turning pieces so they brown evenly. When they are nicely browned - take your time - turn them so they are skin side up. Make a little space to add the onion, and cook, stirring the onion occasionally until it has softened a bit, a minute or two.
- Add apricot mixture and bring to a boil; cook for a minute, then turn heat to low and cover. Cook until chicken is done, 15 to 20 minutes. Uncover, raise heat and season chicken well with salt and pepper. Boil away any excess liquid; sauce should not be too watery. Serve with white rice or any other cooked grain, or bread.

CHICKEN WITH RAISINS
I turn to this recipe -- adapted from the French chef Madeleine Kamman, who died in the summer of 2018 - when cool weather is on the horizon. Perhaps it's the dried fruit or chicken braised in a sauce (instead of being striped on the grill) that appeals to the season. But it's an easy winner for those first dinners when fall appears. Though plumped raisins are called for, other dried fruit, like diced figs or quartered prunes work well, too.

Steps:
- Place raisins in a bowl, add brandy and set aside to plump overnight or for at least 8 hours.
- Make the chicken: Dry chicken pieces. Heat oil in a sauté pan on medium-high, add chicken, skin side down, season with salt and pepper, and sear until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Turn pieces and brown second side. Scatter shallots over chicken. Add verjus to the pan, cover, reduce heat to low and cook 15 to 20 minutes, basting chicken once, until chicken is cooked through.
- Remove chicken to a dish and cover to keep warm. Add raisins with their brandy to the pan, bring to a simmer for a couple of minutes, then add glace de viande and crème fraîche. Cook for several minutes, until the sauce thickens enough to coat a spoon.
- Return chicken to the pan, baste with the sauce, then transfer the contents of the pan to a warm, rimmed platter and serve.
