I'm not sure why, but my dish turned out really salty. I think I might have accidentally added too much salt. Next time, I will be more careful with the seasoning.

This dish was a bit of a disappointment. The chicken was dry and the sauce was bland. I think I would have been better off just roasting a chicken and making a simple sauce.

I'm not a big fan of apricots, but I actually really enjoyed this dish. The chicken was tender and the sauce was flavorful. I would definitely make this again, but I might use a different fruit like peaches or plums.

This dish was a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think I would use less cayenne pepper next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my dish turned out really bland. I think I might have used the wrong spices or maybe I didn't cook it for long enough.

This recipe was a little too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less apricots or maybe some tart fruit like cranberries to balance out the sweetness.
