Skillet Chicken with Lemon & Dried Fruits

Ingredients
2 teaspoon olive oil
1kg bone-in chicken pieces, skinned & trimmed of fat
Salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups mixed dried fruits (pears, pitted prunes, apricots, apples, peaches)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (1/2 lemon)
3/4 teaspoons dried thyme
2 lemons, thinly sliced & seeded

Directions
In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add chicken and cook for about 6 minutes per side, or until the chicken is browned. Remove the chicken, season lightly with salt and pepper and set aside.
Add 1/3 cup water to the skillet, and stir to loosen and dissolve any brown bits stuck to the pan. Stir in the dried fruit, lemon juice and thyme. Place the chicken over the fruit in the pan and baste with the sauce. Arrange the lemon slices over the chicken.

Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink inside and the fruit is tender.
Remove the lemon slices and place around the edge of a serving platter. With slotted spoon, transfer the chicken and fruit to the platter.

Add 1/3 cup water to the skillet and boil for 1 minute. Taste and adjust seasonings. Pour over the chicken and serve immediately. Serves 6.
