This was really easy and came out great. I used 1 pkg of soup mix, and it was plenty. I served it with rice. My kids and I all liked this. My daughter said she could eat it every day.

My husband, who does a lot of the cooking at our house, thought I was nuts when I bought Russian dressing and apricot jam for a chicken recipe! The taste changed his mind immediately.

I bake a whole chicken and use this a a basting sauce, adding 1/2 c. melted butter to the mixture. I've made this several times and always get fabulous reviews. It makes a delicious, juicy, flavorful chicken.

I love this recipe, especially since I can ammend it in so many ways if I don't have the bottle of dressing. Sometimes I used the Chilled Russian dressing recipe here on Allrecipes.com. Over rice, it couldn't be a simpler meal, but you'd be surprised (as the popularity proves) how wonderful it turns out.

Thisi s a great recipe. It has been a staple of my family for a long time. I sometimes add a bit of orange juice or pear juice to the sauce. It is gooey and kids really love it it.

I use this recipe for chicken wings for tailgates and potlucks. I cook a large pack of chicken wings and sauce in a oven cooking bag for easy clean up

VERY easy and simple - my mother has a similar recipe which adds 1/2 cup water to the soup/jam/dressing mixture and calls for marinating the chicken for a few hours before cooking. Either way, this is a good recipe when you want something quick and easy to prepare. I will definitely make this again.

Tasted excellent, even better after resting for 15 minutes after cooking when sauce has gelled. I also put it in the crockpot and it's delicious! Toddlers loved it. Great with rice or potatoes!

Very good! Subbed a 16 oz bottle of French dressing for Russian. Used only one package of onion soup mix. Placed chicken breasts in slow cooker and poured mixture over. Served over white rice.

Okayish. The jam and salad dressing formed a nice sweet and sour sauce, but the soup mix gave it that dour, condensed taste. Next time I'll try it with my own blend of spices

Great recipe, I've been doing a variation of it for decades...my mom thinks she invented the concept! I've always used 1 to 1 1/2 cup each of dressing and jam per envelope of soup mix. Any chicken parts work great, with or without bones/skin. For variety, add crushed red pepper to taste. My family loves it extra extra hot. ALWAYS A HIT!!! Try it with garlic mashed potatoes and corn. The chicken's sauce is great as a gravy over everything. If you've never tried this, you'll love it for dinner tonight, sooo easy and yummy!

This recipe was mediocre. My boyfriend really liked it, but I wasn't a fan. For all the calories it must have, the bang wasn't as good as the buck.

My husband really liked this recipe, although I didn't care a lot for it. My preferences simply don't appreciate the sweetness and combination of Russian salad dressing with apricots and onion soup mix. Although the chicken itself came out great -- juicy and moist. I marinated it for several hours in the sauce mix (added a dash of Worsteshire and red pepper flakes), then stuck it in the oven for about 45-50 minutes. I served it with the Awesome Broccoli-Cheese Casserole from this site. Unless my husband asks for it, I won't make this recipe again.

I have the same recipe, but to cut the sweetness and fat I use fruit juice sweetened apricot preserves and fat free or low fat Catalina, French or Russian Dressing. I never use full fat dressing. I also use chicken breasts and I let the chicken marinate in sauce for 4 hours before I bake it. I baste the chicken every 15 minutes while baking and add a little water if needed. I always serve with brown or basmati rice.
