I think next time I may sub some apple cider vinegar for some of the OJ and up the apricots and reduce the dates. But the chicken was very tender and juicy.

I had some chicken breasts in the fridge that were quickly becoming defunct and I remembered this recipe and thought I had all the necessary ingredients. Not so - the package in my pantry I thought was dried apricots was actually prunes. So I subbed 1/2 cup chopped prunes plus the zest of one lemon (I was trying to replicate the zing!).

Have liked many other things I've tried here, but the kids turned up noses, and I couldn't even say I would "eat my mistake" the way I usually do when I experiment on them.

I have recently discovered that chicken breasts (boneless, skinless) are done much sooner than many recipes call for - and getting them when they are just done is the best way to keep them moist. I realize that this isn't helpful if you are not at home to do this and it defeats the purpose for using the crockpot for many. - DeeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-81192500234075174422010-02-21T17:32:30.007-08:002010-02-21T17:32:30.007-08:00Heard you on The Weekly Dish on Minneapolis/St. Pa...Heard you on The Weekly Dish on Minneapolis/St. Paul radio Saturday... glad you mentioned the creme brulee... planning to try it soon!Kim in Minneapolisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-5510343099813234822010-02-21T15:20:34.925-08:002010-02-21T15:20:34.925-08:00These are typical Moroccan seasonings, along with ...These are typical Moroccan seasonings, along with the dried fruit (sometimes I use prunes) and it's one of my favourite slow cooker dishes.
