Ingredients

4 chicken breast, boneless, skinless or 8 chicken thigh, boneless, skinless
1 package dry onion soup mix 2 oz or 56 g
12 ounce apricot jam

Instructions

Place chicken breasts or thighs in a single layer in a casserole dish.
Mix soup and preserves together in a bowl and pour, as evenly as possible, over chicken.
Cover with tinfoil or lid and bake at 350° for 1 hour or until chicken is cooked.

Notes

- Make sure to mix the soup and jam together first before pouring it over the chicken to ensure all pieces are covered.

- If you have time, marinate your chicken overnight in lemon juice or white wine to add more flavor before cooking with the apricot mixture.

- Make sure not to overcrowd your chicken pieces when placing them in the casserole dish. Leave space between each piece so they cook evenly and absorb maximum flavor from the apricot mixture.
