    this is delicious and very simple. not what i'd call spanish -- more country french perhaps?! but either way, this is so easy and very economical. it's become a repeat recipe for me. may i suggest adding some sprigs of fresh thyme before putting the lid on for the final bubble? i also like it served with brown rice.

    This is lovely. I made it with dried apricots as that is what I had on hand in the pantry, but next time I will use half the quantity. I liked it as is but my husband found the fruit a little overwhelming. Personally, I think the fruit really compliments the chicken. It is wonderful served with mashed potatoes.
