    It's a first for me to have Moroccan chicken with dried apricots and prunes and I must say that they compliment the rest of the ingredients in this dish. The chicken was tender with a delightful dark sweet sauce perked with cinnamon. The aroma wafting through the kitchen while it was cooking was truly inviting that DH wanted some of it as soon as it was done. Thanks, Susiecat too!
