Reviews
This was easy and incredibly tasty. I could not stop taking more portions. Have made it twice. The first time with chicken broth and water. The second time with all chicken broth (as I had some extra to get rid of). Did not notice much difference in taste either way. Apricots really add something special. Everybody gobbled it up, but my 9-year-old son (who never stays at the table or finishes his plate) LOVED this entire meal. (We’ve made the entire meal from the first episode — twice. After finishing the first time, he said he wanted this meal every night.)
Apricots make this special. Very tasty, easy and all gone!
