  Delicious - and my 3 year old daughter loves it too. You might want to note that it isn't spicy though!

  Very easy to make, I find it makes 4 good adult servings, great for freezing.

  This is a firm family favourite. It has been made for all of my friends and they in turn have made it for their friends and family! I also sometimes add carrot chunks for that additional veg count. I use the hot smoked paprika which does give a kick. I counter balance this with a wee dollop of crème fraîche. Try it, it works!

  This was accepted very well by both my hubby and 9yo son - clear plates all round! However, personally, I felt it lacked depth and required something to just add another perspective to the flavour. I have yet to put my finger on what, though!

  Nice texture, I found it a bit too sweet, but that may be because I put it on a slow cook for a couple of hours

  Made this using chicken legs for my 2 & 4 year old and husband and they all loved it! Perhaps worth omitting some of the apricots as not all neccessary, but they loved it and gobbled it up. I served it with brown rice which soaked up all the lovely juices! Yummy! I also used the hot smoked paprika and it was still just right spice wise for us all - will do again definatley

  Fabulous! Really tasty. I put half the amount of apricots and it was just right. One of my favourite recipes.

  I made this in the slow cooker and used half the stock, I served it with cous cous which I added chopped preserved lemons and pine nuts. It was a winner would make again.

  A delicious and easy dish to make. I am always looking for easy, home-made, midweek recipes and this was perfect! Also a little bit different. Hit with the husband!

  Lovely dish and very easy to make. Quite a lot of sauce for just 2 of us (used 2 chicken breasts instead of thighs) but added extra cous cous to mop it up! I also used less apricots. Will definitely be making again.

  Delicious, a bit sweet for me so will try less apricots next time. I chopped the apricots so it was suitable for my children. My 1 year old, 2 year old and husband polished off the lot - always a good sign in our house!

  Mum requested 'moroccan chicken' for her Mother's Day tea so we decided on this recipe. Hadnt got sweet paprika so used 'normal' paprika, probably about a tsp as thats all we had left. Had to use 2 casserole dishes but this couldve been because we were using 4 chicken thighs and 4 drumsticks. It was delicious and everybody loved it! Will definitely make again but might try with a bit more paprika to add a spicier edge.

  Love this. Made it with Beef as I had it in the fridge. Sirloin to be exact. Also didn't have enough apricots so used raisons. Very tasty with wholegrain rice too.
