30 Minute Braised Chicken

This light, tasty chicken dish from BBC Good Food really is ready in 30 minutes! The fruit really complements the chicken. I made it with dried apricots since that is what I had on hand but you may substitute an equal amount of dried prunes. This dish is wonderful served with mashed potatoes.
