- 1 cup Russian dressing
- 1 cup Apricot preserves
- 1 packet Dry onion soup mix
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
Directions
Step 1
Lightly season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Russian dressing, apricot preserves, dry onion soup mix, and minced garlic until combined.
Step 3
Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the slow cooker, arranging them in a single layer if possible.

Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken, ensuring that all pieces are evenly coated.
Step 5
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours or on HIGH for 2-3 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
Step 6
Optional: In the last 30 minutes of cooking, give the sauce a stir to make sure everything is well mixed.
