I have also been making this for years and have yet to have it glaze the chicken. It is a good flavor and good over rice and easy so I guess that outweighs not having the glaze on the chicken. Any suggestions anyone?

I have been making this same dish for years, too. Everyone loves it. One slight difference that I do is that I mix the dressing, preserves and soup in a poy and heat to boiling. I let the mixture cool to room temperature, then add the chicken and let it marinate in the refrigerator overnight. Everything comes out nice and tender.

I have been making this recipe for years. The family loves it. It surely is a winner. It also goes by the name Delicious Chicken.

Great recipe! And is there room for a chuckle? I think it's amazing that h2odancerqt spent her childhood growing up in the oven (if I read her comment correctly).

I have been making this recipe for almost 50 years. 2 boxes of onion soup mix is way too much. Bake uncovered if the sauce is too thin, or just thicken the sauce with a slurry (flour or cornstarch). My family loved the extra sauce over rice or noodles. I only use thighs because breast meat is too dry. I also make extra to freeze for another day. My DH and children (when they lived at home) liked this dish better the second time around.

my mom made this recipe every week when i was growing up in the oven. the chicken was always too dry- I tried it in a slow cooker and it came out MUCH better. if you still want to bake the chicken I recommend putting foil over the pan for all but the last 2 minutes. this will help keep the moisture in.

I totally agree with another viewer...this recipe is way too bland. There are 5 of us and no one liked this dish. Perhaps if you tweaked the recipe a bit it would taste better. I don't plan to make it again to try though. Very disappointing, I was really looking forward to a great tasting dish.

I have made this many times, usually with boneless breasts and just 1 packet of onion soup mix. Recently tried substituting can of cranberry sauce for apricot preserves tastes even better.

This is okay, especially for kids. You can toss in pineapple chunks, too. For adults, a little bit of crushed red pepper flakes makes it less bland and similar to a dish at PF Chang's. Easy to keep ingredients in the pantry. Serve over rice.

I prepared this for a group and it was just wonderful! I cooked the chicken overnight in the crock pot then put it all together the next morning. I only used one soup envelope and one cup of pineapple preserves along with two small bottles of the Russian dressing. It made the most wonderful glaze. I will add this to my favorites!

We call this recipe Russian Chicken at home! Its always a huge hit. I put salt and pepper on the chicken before I put the sauce on cuz it always seems to need a little salt. I also you apricot-pineapple preserves for some added sweetness. We put it on top of white rice! YUM!

This is a great recipe. My husband loves it. I made a few changes to make it a little heathier. Instead of Russian dressing I used a raspberry vinegerette preferably one with splenda. I also use a entire jar of apricot preserves also the sugar free variety with Splenda. This helps lower the amount of sugar in the recipe and cuts out a lot of calories and fat that is in the Russian dressing. I think it tastes better too.

I grew up on a similar rendition of this recipe and it's one of my kids favorites today. I use boneless breasts and mix 1 package dry onion soup, 1 bottle russian dressing, 1 jar apricot preserves and 1 jar pineapple preserves. I use 6 - 8 chicken breasts, too. Yummy!

I used this recipe to prepare a great quick supper. Instead of russian dressing I used French dressing. I served it with some orzo and it was a smashing success- with my husband, at least!

This recipe was very easy as compared to the other sweet and sour recipes. When you're in a hurry this would work. It tasted good but not quite like you would expect.

I make this recipe all of the time, but I only use one envelope of Lipton Onion Soup Mix and I use boneless chicken breasts. I have grown up on this recipe since I was a little girl. I love the sauce over my chicken and my rice. My whole family loves it, too.

This was horrible. The taste was extremely bland. The sauce became too thin during cooking.The presentation was very poor. I would not use as much Russian dressing, more apricot preserves, and double the dry onion soup mix. Also, I would probably throw in garlic, onions, and some curry/ginger, and maybe some soy sauce. I really don't know. I do know this is not a fix again for our family.
