Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup Catalina dressing
• 1 cup apricot preserves
• 1 packet onion soup mix
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the olive oil and set aside.

Step 3

Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel, then season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, mix together the Catalina dressing, apricot preserves, and the packet of onion soup mix until fully combined.

Step 5

Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.

Step 6

Pour the Catalina dressing mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring each piece is well-coated.

Step 7

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the foil, baste the chicken with the sauce, and return to the oven. Continue baking uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot with your choice of sides such as rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
