10 min
Difficulty: 2/3

We think apricot spiced with sumac just might become your new flavor obsession. Here, the combination of sweet apricot jam and the tart punch of this Middle Eastern spice creates a simply irresistible sauce. And the rest of this meal is a vision in itself. Lemony rice is topped with chili-kissed roasted zucchini and onion, and sliced almonds. Perfection!

Preparation
1
Prep

  • Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce.

  • Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; slice crosswise into ½-inch-thick half-moons. Halve, peel, and cut onion into ½-inch-thick wedges. Peel and mince or grate garlic. Zest and quarter lemon.

2
Roast Veggies

  • Toss zucchini and onion on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, chili powder, salt, and pepper.

  • Roast on top rack, tossing halfway through, until tender and browned, 14-16 minutes.

3
Cook Rice

  • While veggies roast, heat a drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add half the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds.

  • Stir in rice, half the stock concentrates, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.

  • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

4
Cook Chicken

  • Meanwhile, pat chicken* dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper.

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes per side. TIP: Lower heat if chicken begins to brown too quickly.

  • Turn off heat; transfer chicken to a plate to rest. Wipe out pan.

5
Make Sauce

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over medium heat. Add remaining garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds.

  • Stir in jam, remaining stock concentrate, and ¼ cup water (⅓ cup for 4 servings). Simmer until thickened, 2-3 minutes. TIP: Use a whisk to break up any pieces of jam if necessary.

  • Reduce heat to low. Stir in sumac, 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4), and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.

6
Finish & Serve

  • Return chicken (and any resting juices) to pan with sauce; turn to coat. Transfer chicken to a cutting board; thinly slice crosswise.

  • Fluff rice with a fork. Stir in lemon zest and a big squeeze of lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Add half the veggies to pot with rice and stir to combine.

  • Divide rice mixture between bowls; top with chicken and remaining veggies. Spoon any remaining sauce from pan over chicken. Garnish with almonds and serve.
