DELICIOUS! This was a very easy, fast, and yummy weeknight dinner! I used skinless chicken breasts WITH the bone (stays more moist that way). Makes a great 'sauce' in the bottom of the pan to pour over the chicken and some rice! UPDATE 2008: I now make this dish in the crock-pot and it turns out great! Slice up a large yellow onion and spread the slices on the bottom of the slow cooker, season well with kosher salt and lemon pepper. Use skinless chicken breasts WITH THE BONE, and lay them on top of the onion, and sprinkle well with minced garlic, kosher salt, and lemon pepper. Pour the sauce mixture over the top and cook on low for about 5 hours (any longer and it gets dry). Perfect every time!

Tasty and simple! My boyfriend loved it and thinks I'm an amazing cook now. I followed the advice of another review and used Catalina dressing. I was nervous about the idea of onion soup mix because I don't like onion all that much so I used onion-mushroom soup mix instead. Someone also said to add minced garlic, but I was lazy and just added a dash of garlic powder, probably not enough to make a difference. I'll mince garlic next time. Boyfriend is on a high protein diet now, so I served this with white rice quickly fried up with minced garlic (got less lazy) and eggs. Yum!

everybody enjoyed it. used chicken breasts and left to marinade for about 2 hours. husband said he would have it again so a winner!!!!!!

Quite a delicious dish. I cut it in half since we are a small family but there is still plenty of sauce to go around and I don't think the flavor as compromised. We served it on rice.

I thought this tasted way too processed tasting and way too salty when I first made it. The next day I used the leftovers cut up in spinach, tomato and pepper jack cheese wraps and that was delicious, so I am giving it 3 stars. I wouldn't rave about it, but I would tweak it (use more fresh ingredients when baking) and try it again.

I love this recipe; it's one I've been making for years. I think I enjoy the sauce with rice at least as much as I do the chicken itself. Great for kids. This recipe works well in a slow cooker as well. Also, I find that chicken thighs are juicier and more flavorful.

The Cranberry Sauce Chicken (very similar to this recipe) used to be my family's favorite, but now they like it better with the apricot! It was absolutely delicious! Thanks for the recipe!

This was a hit in my house even my daughter who usually doesn't eat meat liked it. She asked to have it for dinner the next night also. I used an 8oz bottle of Russian Dressing because that was all I found, only 1 packet of onion soup and the 10 oz of apricot preserves. I also used about 8 chicken breasts and still had a lot of gravy. I only baked it for 45 minutes and it was nice and tender. Thanks for the quick and easy recipe.

Probably won't make this again but if I did I'd change it some: 1. way too salty. use 1/2 packet of soup mix. 2. way too much sauce. Cut sauce mix in half. 3. Sauce was very thin. I'd add water/cornstarch mix & simmer to thicken.

So tasty. I had heard of this recipe for years, but never dared to try it. Seemed kinda gross to me, but it really was sooo tasty. I used 4 bone-in and 2 boneless breasts and each turned out very good. So easy to make, too. I used sugar free apricot preserves and the red russian dressing. I also sprinkled some red pepper flakes on top for a little heat. Served with rice, too. The rice with the sauce was probably my favorite part. Happened to have some almond slivers served with asparagus that got into the rice on my plate and added a nice little crunch. Could use water chestnuts to add some crunch on purpose if you wanted to. Can't justify making this a staple because of the calorie content, but will use again for a group since it's so easy. Love anything you can just throw in the oven. Definitely let it sit for 15-30 minutes after it comes out of the oven to allow the sauce to thicken a bit.

I was a little skeptical, I must admit, when I read the ingredients and some of the reviews. I was feeling adventurous though, and gave it a try. I am so glad I did! The only thing I did different was used thighs instead of breasts (what I had on hand) and used one packet of the onion soup mix rather than one and a half. Some of the best chicken ever turned out of my kitchen!!! Even my EXTREMELY picky five year old liked it. Thanks for the great recipe!

This is a very easy and tasty dish. My boys love it. I've made this in a crock pot and used skinned and boneless chicken thighs instead and let it cook all day on low. All I do is make rice and veggies and dinner is done in about 20 minutes.

We call this "kid's proof chicken" I usually make it using drumsticks/thighs, or whatever's on sale. It is so quick and easy to make, put rice in the rice cooker and within 10 minutes you have dinner cooking. I make it for family fun night at our church, I never have leftover's.

Delicious. I'd had something similar before, so I kind of knew what to expect, perhaps that accounts for the negative reviews. I used sugar-free preserves and it was not too sweet at all. I also basted the chicken a few times during the bake time. Great over brown rice.

What a mess...My family ate it and we all laughed because this recipe is what they call "white trash Chinese food". No, I will not make it again. It was like candy. The chicken is very moist but for the amount of calories I would rather have fried chicken any day.

I should have listened to the review that said this was awful! One of the worst things I’ve made from this site so far. It had a really funny taste and was pretty much inedible. That apricot and on
