Apricot Chicken

 

This recipe is amazingly easy and kid friendly. It's also a great freezer meal!  I like to bake it in a 9x13in. dish but you can also cook it in a crockpot or instant pot if you don't mind it being more like shredded chicken. 

A quick side note: One of the ingredients is Russian dressing. It's important to note that there are two different kinds of russian dressing...one is a lot like french/catalina and the other is creamy like thousand island.  In this recipe you'll want to use the one that looks like french/catalina.  Wishbone has a good one but I can't always find it so I use french or catalina as a substitute.  

If you're looking for a fast new chicken recipe that your kids will all eat give this a try!
