About
Chicken Apricot Bake brings together an unlikely pair. Chicken and apricots? Why? Well, the savory flavor of the chicken is actually quite mild, which makes it an easy pairing with the sweet and tart flavor of the apricot. A little creamy Russian dressing and zesty onion soup flavoring add new dimensions to this Chicken Apricot Bake. Oh, and you can't forget those crispy fried onions on top! That's what brings it all together! Yum!
