Here is yet another APRICOT CHICKEN recipe BUT it is made in the crockpot. Tastes really moist and has a wonderful sauce. Serve over cooked wild rice or white rice.Hope you enjoy! Update 05/09/2009 - hi there, I wanted to let you know - that I have used different fruits when making this and I always end up with the apricot preserve! Ingredients:
1 cup good-quality apricot preserves |
bottled russian salad dressing or bottled italian salad dressing |
1 (1 1/2 ounce) packet dry onion soup mix |
12 boneless skinless chicken breasts |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
3 pinches crushed red pepper flakes (optional) |
salt & pepper (optional) |
Directions:
1. In medium bowl, mix together the preserves, dressing, dry soup & red pepper flakes (if using) until well blended.
2. Arrange 3 of the chicken breasts in the bottom of a 3-1/2 to 4 quart slow cooker.
3. Spoon a fourth of the apricot mixture on top add 3 more layers of chicken with the apricot mixture in between & on top.
4. Cover & cook on high for 1 hour.
5. Reduce the heat setting to low & continue cooking covered for 2-1/2 to 3 hours, or until the chicken is tender & white throughout; DON'T overcook or the chicken will toughen.
6. Serve with potatoes, rice, couscous or noodles.
