Ingredients

6 boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 cup French dressing
1 cup apricot preserves
1 ounce package dry onion soup mix

Instructions

Place the chicken pieces in a single layer into the bottom of the slow cooker.
In a medium bowl, combine the dressing, apricot preserves, and dry onion soup mix. Stir the ingredients until they are well combined.
Pour the apricot mixture over the chicken thighs in the slow cooker, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Set the slow cooker to high heat for 4 hours or low heat for 6 hours. Close the lid and let it cook.
Once the chicken is cooked through and tender, serve it over rice with a side of broccoli, snap peas, or green beans. Spoon some of the sauce from the slow cooker over the cooked chicken and rice for extra flavor.
