Chicken and Apricot Potjie Recipe [Quick ‘n Dirty]

Here’s a quick turnaround, no nonsense potjie recipe containing chicken and apricot.

This was whipped together in under 2 hours by co-conspirator, Darren Ogden, alongside the river in beautiful Tyolumnqa, Eastern Cape. Google “Tyolumnqa”. If you can spell it. We’re not even sure we can. It really is the most tranquil out-of-the-way relaxing place to experience. Perfect potjie ground.

Chicken and Apricot Potjie

• 1.5 kg chicken off the bone

• 1 handful mini corn 
• 1 punnet mushrooms 
• 1 handful coriander 
• Garlic to taste 
• Ginger to taste
