Saucy Apricot-Glazed Chicken Recipe - Cooking Index
This is a slow-cooker rendition of the ever-popular chicken glazed with a mixture of apricot preserves, Russian dressing and dry onion soup mix that's usually baked in the oven. Cooked in the slow cooker, you end up with a lot of delicious, apricot-colored sauce to gussy up the chicken breasts. Serve over wild rice or white rice; or try basmati or jasmine rice, cooked on top of the stove. If you have leftover chicken and sauce, freeze and use within two months.
Type: Chicken, Poultry| 1 cup | 237ml | Good-quality chunky apricot preserves |
| 3/4 cup | 177ml | Bottled Russian dressing |
| 1 | Dry onion soup mix - (1.15 oz) | |
| 12 | Boneless skinless chicken breast halves - trimmed of fat | |
| (abt 3 1/2 to 4 lbs) |
In a medium bowl, mix together apricot preserves, dressing and dry soup mix until well blended. Arrange 3 chicken breast halves in bottom of a 3 1/2-quart electric slow cooker. Spoon 1/4 of apricot mixture on top. Add 3 more layers of chicken with apricot mixture in between and on top.
Cover and cook on HIGH heat setting 1 hour. Reduce heat setting to LOW and continue cooking, covered, 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until chicken is tender and white throughout; do not overcook or chicken will toughen. Serve sauce over chicken.
This recipe yields 8 to 10 servings.
