Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Russian salad dressing
- 1 cup apricot preserves
- 1 packet onion soup mix
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the olive oil.
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
In a medium bowl, mix together the Russian salad dressing, apricot preserves, and onion soup mix until well combined.
Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue to bake for another 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once done, remove the baking dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve warm with rice, mashed potatoes, or a side of vegetables.
