I like to sprinkle this chicken stew with toasted almonds or cashews and serve with hot couscous. Flavored with cinnamon and a touch of sweetness from the apricots, this stew tastes like you fussed. It's great for potlucks, too! —Angela Buchanan, Longmont, Colorado

I thought this looked good and it really smelled good but it was incredibly bland tasting. Anyone have suggestions on jazzing this up? The only change I made was using chicken breast instead of thighs.

I've made this recipe over and over again. I do not use the slow cooker however. I saute the onion and carrots in a little butter until tender. Then I and all the other ingredients (leaving the apricots and already cooked chicken for the end) and I let it boil down. I use the instant chicken flavored couscous from the store and it makes for a very quick yummy dinner. I love it - and my children do too.

Very good family meal. Healthy and perfect in the slow cooker. I added celery and served over rice. Wonder how it would taste with curry? This is one I will serve to company. The apple juice, cinnamon and apricots seem odd, but together they work perfectly. They add just a bit of sweetness to the dish and agree with other reviewers...do not skip the apricots! For convenience, I used boneless skinless chicken thighs. It should also work with boneless skinless chicken breasts for a leaner version.

It sounded like a great recipe. It smelled good cooking. But the family was not impressed.

Really easy and good recipe. Must use the apricots, they add an element that really rounds out the flavors.
