Love recipes like this Quick and Easy Apricot Chicken. Only 2 ingredients, ok 3 including the chicken! Your choice of apricot jam or jelly and onion soup mix! The flavor is unbelievable. I couldn’t believe it myself until I tried it.
I have been making this chicken recipe for years. It involves literally no preparation and minimal clean up. Little effort and a great result which to me means the perfect weeknight dinner recipe!
I am still in shock at how fabulous this chicken tastes! It always feels like a chicken dish should be more work than this to have such a tasty result! Don’t you agree?
The woman that showed me how to cook this Quick and Easy Apricot Chicken dish and I are no longer friends so I suppose friends come and go but recipes are forever! I suppose that is kind of funny!
