"Not your same old chicken, this recipe has a slight twist & shake to it from its unusual sauce. Serve with green vegetables for a complete meal in one. Mmm Mmm good!"

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
In a bowl, stir together the thousand island salad dressing, pineapple-apricot preserves, grated onion, dry onion soup mix, and cinnamon until well blended. Place chicken in a large, oiled baking dish. Arrange potato halves around the edges of the pan, fitting chicken and potatoes tightly together in a single layer. Brush sauce over chicken, coating completely. Cover with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and remove foil. Continue baking 15 minutes more, or until potatoes are fork-tender and chicken is no longer pink in center. Both should have a beautiful golden brown glaze.

This is great, I was skeptical about the pineapple-apricot preserves but ooooooooooo it was good. That must be the secret ingredient, thanks for sharing Jen my family loves it!

My family and I really liked this. The kids picked the bones CLEAN. I didn't know whether to take the skin off the chicken or not, so I did my best to sear the thighs first on an electric griddle. The skin got "fleshy" again after cooking in the oven so next time I think I will skin the chicken first. (or maybe even deep frying the chicken with a batter on it. I bet that would glaze deliciously!) I used ketchup and mayonaisse (not miracle whip!) instead of dressing, peach preserves only, and kinda made up my own "onion soup/seasoning" mix. I will definitely make this again, thank you! Very good.

This is good for a nice change. Next time I will take off the skin. I used chicken breasts with the bone in.

This is definitely not a dish me or my family enojoyed. The chicken was juicy, but the flavor was not something we were used to so it wasn't a big hit. My picky eaters did not like it. Thanks for the recipe but we will not make this again.

Wow! What a change of pace for flavor! Weather too hot to use the oven, so made it in the crockpot. Chicken breasts turned out wonderfully moist and tender...made a very nice gravy while cooking. I skillet-browned potatoes before adding to crockpot later. Will definitely make again!

I think this could be a misprint! I've made this many times, but NEVER with Thousand Island Dressing! Use the old fashioned orange French Dressing, and you will really like it!

Quick, easy, delicious! My kids loved it and mom and dad, too. I used boneless breasts cut into small pieces and my potatoes were also cut into smaller chunks. Everything cooked through and the chicken was especially moist.

Sorry about the low rating, but I had a few problems with this recipe. The potatoes didn't cook enough even though I added and extra 20 mins to the baking time. Also, the Thousand Island dressing added a funny flavor to the sauce. I did brown the chicken on the stove first and that helped keep the skin crisp. But, unfortunately the only thing was liked about the recipe was that the chicken was very very moist.
