She made it about once a week, and I can&#8217;t blame her for that! It&#8217;s amazing, and believe it or not, only three ingredients! I know it sounds too good to be true, but it really is delicious. I promise it&#8217;s worth a try! It&#8217;s the perfect addition to your weekly lineup for those nights when there&#8217;s no time for fancy fiddling in the kitchen, but you want something a little better than cereal. My husband and kids gobble this chicken up (and the leftovers are so good too)!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Apricot Chicken<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>serves 6<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Ingredients<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-left: 40px;\">\n<li>1 pkg Lipton onion soup mix<\/li>\n<li>1 bottle Russian dressing (do not substitute thousand island here!)*<\/li>\n<li>1 10-oz. jar apricot preserves<\/li>\n<li>1 2.5-lb. bag boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or chicken breast tenderloins)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Method<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Preheat oven to 375\u00ba.<\/li>\n<li>In medium bowl, combine onion soup mix, Russian dressing, and apricot preserves until well-incorporated.<\/li>\n<li>Spray a large casserole dish lightly with oil, then pour about 1\/3 of the sauce into the bottom of the dish. Place chicken in dish, then cover with remaining sauce, ensuring each piece of chicken is well-coated.<\/li>\n<li>Bake about 20-25 minutes, flipping chicken over halfway through, or until chicken is cooked through.*<\/li>\n<li>Remove from oven and let rest 5-10 minutes. Serve with rice and a vegetable, and be sure to pour the sauce over the chicken and rice!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>*NOTES:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-left: 40px;\">\n<li>Russian dressing can be a little tricky to find, but most large grocers should carry it. I can always find it at my local Safeway, but Target does not sell it.<\/li>\n<li>If using tenderloins, cook time will be less.
