How to prepare it step by step?

Preparation

1. Heat the olive oil in a deep pot or tagine over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger, cooking until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the chicken and spices, stirring to coat. Cook until the chicken is golden brown, about 8 minutes, releasing a rich aroma.
3. Add the soaked apricots and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 1 hour, until the chicken is tender and the flavors meld.

5. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro for a burst of color and freshness.
