I found this recipe to be a bit bland. The chicken was cooked well, but the sauce lacked flavor. I think it would have been better with some more herbs and spices.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with fresh apricots and prunes instead of dried. The chicken was cooked well, but the sauce was a bit too thick.
