I’ve made this with meatballs in the crock pot (my kids ask for the sweat and sour meatballs. Also, used my homemade peach jam when I didn’t have apricot.

I love this recipe. I loved the taste and thought it would be so easy and yummy in the crock pot. I’ve tried it a couple times now with the very same ingredients in the crock. WE LOVE it. The chicken just falls apart — so tender! It’s perfect over brown rice.

Thanks for the recipe! It’s already become a regular on our weekly menu in the last month.

Here’s a pretty good recipe for Russian dressing if you can’t find it in the store.

Russian Dressing

Ingredients:
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3 Tbsp. water
1 cup canola oil
1/2 cup ketchup
2 to 3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 Tbsp. vinegar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. paprika
1 1/2 tsps. celery seed
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup grated onion

Instructions:
In a saucepan, cook sugar and water until it forms a thick syrup/spins a thread, about 230°. Cool syrup. Combine remaining ingredients; add syrup and whisk to blend well (or combine in your blender) . Chill thoroughly.

Makes about 2 cups.

I’ve never heard of russian dressing, i guess they dont have it here is australia. So funny i just made apricot chicken last night. I didnt have time to do in in the oven, so i cut the chicken up into stirfry strips, fry sealed the chicken with onion and capsicum, added a can of apricot nectar, some french onion dried soup and some chopped apricots. I served it with rice and topped with nutmeg and cracked pepper. The kids licked thier plates clean!!!

I make this same chicken dish with Russian (or Catalina if I can’t find Russian) onion soup mix, and a can of whole cranberry sauce. My family loves this!
