Peel the apples, remove the cores, and slice them thinly. Remove the pits from the apricots and cut them in halves. Mix the chicken with all the other ingredients in a large bowl and let it marinate for at least two hours, preferably overnight.

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the chicken and marinade in a baking dish, cover it with a damp sheet of baking paper, and bake for 45–60 minutes until fully cooked. Fifteen minutes before it’s done, remove the paper to allow a golden crust to form.

Before serving, mix everything again and sprinkle with fresh herbs of your choice. If desired, you can thicken the sauce with matzo meal – sprinkle a little directly into the dish with the cooked chicken, mix well, and wait 10–15 minutes until the matzo absorbs the liquid and the sauce thickens.
