Curried Chicken with Apricots image

Elegant-looking presentation-light, delicate taste, not heavy on the curry. appears to be more work than it actually is -i REALLY like that part. We especially enjoy basmati rice with it. Has become a STANDARD at our house. I got this years ago from the Moroccan "expert" on an old Compuserve food forum. I can almost guarantee enjoyment.
