Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4–6 Chicken breasts

Sauce

  • 1 (8 ounce) bottle Catalina Dressing
  • 1 cup Apricot Jam
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato paste or tomato sauce
  • 1 packet dry onion soup mix

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients including the chicken breasts, Catalina dressing, apricot jam, tomato paste or sauce, and dry onion soup mix to ensure everything is ready before you begin.
  2. Combine in Crock Pot: Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the crock pot. Pour the Catalina dressing, apricot jam, and tomato paste or sauce over the chicken. Sprinkle the dry onion soup mix evenly on top.
  3. Cook: Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 3 to 4 hours. The cooking time depends on your particular crock pot, but the chicken should be fully cooked and tender by the end.
  4. Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the chicken and serve it over a bed of white or brown rice. Spoon the savory-sweet sauce from the crock pot over the chicken and rice for extra flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts if you prefer dark meat.
  • Adjust apricot jam quantity for more sweetness or reduce for a tangier dish.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and make great sandwiches or wraps.
  • Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
  • If tomato paste is too thick, tomato sauce can be used for a thinner sauce consistency.
