It is helpful if you can give your old ingredient list and instructions on

preparing. Then, we can perhaps figure out a fair adaptation.

this is one of the few apricot chiken recipes i found that were free of packet

french onion

soup mix and dressings... it still is obviously not scd legal... it is from

allrecipes.com (as

are the others below)

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup apricot preserves

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon chicken broth or sherry

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon minced garlic

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips

1 medium green pepper, chopped

1/2 cup salted cashews

Hot cooked rice

DIRECTIONS

In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Add chicken and toss to

coat.

Transfer to a shallow microwave-safe dish. Cover and microwave on high for 3

minutes,

stirring once.

Add green pepper and cashews. Cover and microwave on high for 2-4 minutes or

until

chicken juices run clear, stirring once. Let stand for 3 minutes. Serve with

rice.

it is cooked in the microwave. i figure i can adapt to the crockpot easily

enough. i was

planning to use real apricot rather than jam - most other recipes use real

apricot and

packet soup and some type of dressing. here are a couple of examples -

no #1

INGREDIENTS

12 chicken thighs

1 cup apricot preserves

1 cup French dressing

1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

In a medium bowl combine the jam, dressing and soup mix. Mix together.

Place chicken pieces in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour apricot mixture over

chicken and

bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes.

no #2

INGREDIENTS

6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

1 1/2 (1 ounce) packages dry onion soup mix

1 (10 fluid ounce) bottle Russian-style salad dressing

1 cup apricot preserves

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Place the chicken pieces in a 4 quart casserole dish. Mix the soup mix, dressing

and jam

together, and pour over the chicken.

Cover dish and bake for 1 hour in preheated oven.

ANY SUGGESTIONS AS TO HOW TO MAKE SOMETHING LIKE THIS SCD LEGAL?

OK. For the crockpot one, you could use sesame oil rather than soy sauce. I've

done this before per suggestion of veteran SCD cooks. Use less than the recipe

calls for of soy sauce though because sesame oil is pretty strong. You would

use almond flour instead of corn starch. Apricot preserves...Well, I believe

there is a jam recipe in BTVC and on scdrecipe.com. I know that Grain Free

Gourmet cookbook has a strawberry jam recipe. Perhaps you could just substitute

fresh apricots for the strawberries. As for the other two, I'm not sure. My

advice for the apricot preserves would be the same. Make an SCD legal one of

your own. I know that there is a French dressing recipe on scdrecipe.com. It

is called Ann's French dressing. For the onion soup mix...My guess would be

that Carol could help you figure out how to substitute that one. Have you

become a member of the SCD Creators yahoo group? It's a group specificly for

SCD recipes.

Hi Roweena,

<< this is one of the few apricot chiken recipes i found that were

free of packet french onion

> soup mix and dressings... it still is obviously not scd legal...

it is from allrecipes.com (as

> are the others below)>>

I changed the ingredients as below:

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup homemade SCD apricot jam**

1-2 Tablespoons of pure sesame oil

1 tablespoon chicken broth

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips

1 medium green pepper, chopped

1/2 cup unsalted cashews

1/2 tsp salt

shredded, cooked cauliflower (rice- alternative)*** see below

DIRECTIONS

In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Add chicken and

toss to coat.

Transfer to a shallow microwave-safe dish. Cover and microwave on

high for 3 minutes,

> stirring once.

> Add green pepper and cashews. Cover and microwave on high for 2-4

minutes or until

> chicken juices run clear, stirring once. Let stand for 3 minutes.

Serve with cauliflower (rice-alternative) if tolerated.

***Cauliflower " rice "

Shred cauliflower in food processor or with cheese grater (careful of

your thumbs). Either steam or lightly saute the cauliflower until

heated and barely crisp. Serve immediately.

<<it is cooked in the microwave. i figure i can adapt to the

crockpot easily enough. i was

> planning to use real apricot rather than jam>>

**Homemade apricot jam

Cover legal dried apricots with pineapple juice and leave to soak at

least overnight in refrigerator. After soaking period blend the

apricots and pineapple juice in blender until smooth. If you would

like it a little smoother add a little water and simmer for about 10

minutes on stove. I skipped the water and simmering step and it was

thick and sweet, one of 's favorites.

<< - most other recipes use real apricot and

> packet soup and some type of dressing. here are a couple of

Homemade Dry onion soup mix recipes consist mainly of dried minced

onion, beef bouillon and some pepper. You may be able to add

homemade dried onion powder(dehydrator or oven dried), home dried

minced onion, homemade beef broth and a little fresh ground pepper.

When adding the beef broth simmer until concentarted and reduce other

liquids called for in the original recipe. If you reduce the broth

until very concentrated you hardly notice the difference. If you do

a large batch of beef broth (it really saves time) freeze the

concentrate in ice cube trays for future use.
