Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the catalina/Russian dressing.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking pan with two layers of foil and place chicken into the pan.

Step 3

In a measuring cup, whisk together onion soup mix, catalina dressing, and apricot preserves.

Step 4

Pour the mixture all over the chicken.

Step 5

Bake uncovered for 40-50 minutes, or when the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 6

While baking, you'll want to baste it often with either a brush or a baster. Just so the chicken gets re-coated with the delicious sauce.

Step 7

If you want, 5 minutes or so before the chicken is done, you can pop it under the broiler to get the sauce to caramelize a bit on the chicken but this is totally optional.

Step 8

Serve with your favorite veggies or grains.
