- 4-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup Russian or Catalina dressing
- 1 cup apricot preserves
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 package dry onion soup mix
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Pat chicken pieces dry with a paper towel, then add to a casserole dish.
Combine the dressing, preserves, garlic powder, dry onion soup, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor. Blend or pulse until smooth, then pour over the chicken, tossing to coat evenly.
Cover the casserole dish with foil and bake for 40-50 minutes, removing the foil during the last 10 minutes of baking until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is hot and bubbly.
Serve over rice, pasta, or potatoes.
