Add the onion and garlic to the pan; cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes, until the onion starts to soften.

Add the broth, the remaining 1½ teaspoons salt and 14 teaspoon black pepper, the allspice and the red-pepper flakes. Add the chicken, apricots, and raisins.

Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat, and simmer the chicken, partially covered, for about 20 minutes, until just done.

Serve topped with the parsley, and enjoy!
