For a richer flavor, try using a high-quality apricot preserve with chunks of fruit.
If you prefer a less tangy sauce, reduce the amount of Russian dressing slightly.
Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the apricot mixture for a subtle kick of heat.
Serve with a side of roasted vegetables like broccoli or asparagus for a complete meal.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    This recipe is a lifesaver! So easy and the chicken is always so moist and flavorful.

    I added a squeeze of lemon juice to the sauce and it brightened up the flavors even more.

  • Mohamed Schinner

    Next time I'm going to try it with bone-in chicken thighs for extra juiciness.
