Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 cup Russian dressing
- 1 cup apricot preserves
- 1 packet onion soup mix
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 3
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides, then place them in the prepared baking dish.
Step 4
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Russian dressing, apricot preserves, and onion soup mix until well blended.
Step 5
Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are completely coated.
Step 6
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Step 7
After 25 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for another 15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce is bubbling. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Remove the dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm with your choice of side dishes such as rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
