Baby - Chicken Stew

This is also a dish which both hb and myself enjoys. Something I can throw everything in the slow cooker and 'forget' about it till you smell the aromatic whiffs! Wanted to recreate this so that it is suitable for Kimi. It is a nutritious, yummy yet easy to make dish.

Hope you and baby will enjoy it too!

* When using Dried Apricots, try to get those from organic stores as some drying methods mah contain sulphur. So, it's better to err on the safe side and get organic, sulphur free ones.
