10 oz Apricot preserves *
1 Pkg onion soup mix
2 tb Parsley; minced
8 oz Russian dressing **
2 c Long-grain rice
3 lb Chicken;
* Substitute currant, peach, or any preserve combination.
** Substitute catalina dressing.
Mix preserves, dressing, and onion mix.
Arrange chicken in a baking dish; pour mix over chicken.
Marinade for 3+ hours, refrigerated.
Bake at 325 to 350°F for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until juices clear.
To crisp chicken, cook the last 15 minutes under the broiler.
Prepare rice with parsley; serve chicken over rice.
My preference is to bake chicken about 30 minutes and finish over a
medium-high grill, basting with some of the sauce and saving some
to pour over chicken and rice at serving.
