Crockpot Apricot Chicken Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

This super simple four-ingredient crockpot recipe for apricot chicken is so delicious and flavorful. The combination of mild chicken, onion, spicy salad dressing, and sweet apricot preserves is just wonderful. Serve the chicken and sauce over hot cooked rice, pasta, or couscous. This recipe calls for frozen chicken breasts, although food safety experts say that you should not cook frozen meat in the slow cooker. If anyone in your family is in a high-risk group (elderly, small child, pregnant, compromised immune system), use thawed breasts, and cook for just 4 to 6 hours until the chicken is thoroughly cooked. Always check the final temperature of the chicken with a reliable food thermometer. It should be at least 160 f. This warming and the comforting recipe is very flavorful, and it's so simple to make. Serve this easy recipe with a green salad tossed with sliced mushrooms and avocados and some toasted garlic bread or crisp breadsticks. Enjoy it all winter long.
