friederike from Berlin,
Very delicious, and the apricots are definitely a eye-catcher, BUT there were a few slight issues and one major fail.
As so often, the recipe calls for the juice of one lemon to be added. I added the juice of a quart lemon (approximately), and it ended up being sour. My advice would be to add no lemon at all but to wait right until the end and then taste it - and if you then think you could do with a little lemon, add some, carefully.
Other points to watch out for: the freshly grated ginger might burn, add extra oil and stir to prevent that, and the chicken is prone to become dry, as so often with similar recipes, so don't cook it longer than absolutely necessary.
But what I really didn't understand: First, you need to add ten ready-to-eat apricots. Next, you're asked to serve it with a handful of pomegranate seeds. Now in which country are apricots and pomegranates available in the same season? Really, they should have known better than this!
