Russian Chicken

Did you give up on me? :) I almost did! I apologize for the delay in my recipe posting. I actually made this recipe a couple months ago, but have been super busy and haven't been able to post it. In April, Victor moved to Houston! It was a very exciting move for both of us. And we've been visiting each other almost every weekend since the move, so there hasn't been much time for anything else. Here are a few pictures of the move from Michigan to Houston...

Victor worked hard to get this armoire into the U-Haul!

It snowed the day we left Michigan, of course!

It was also Victor's birthday the day we left MI. I enjoy embarrassing him. :)

After two days of driving, we FINALLY made it to Houston, TX!

 Anyways...back to the chicken..."Russian Chicken" to be exact. :) This is another recipe from Nanu, and it was really good! I never would've put these ingredients together, but they compliment each other very well. Here's the chicken...

And here's the recipe...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Russian Chicken
from the kitchen of Bonnie Campbell

1 small chicken, cut into pieces
1 envelope Lipton onion soup mix
1 small jar apricot preserves
1 bottle Russian salad dressing

Rinse chicken. Mix other ingredients. Dip chicken in mixture and place in a very lightly greased baking dish. Pour remainder of mixture over chicken. Cover and bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour. Uncover and bake approximately 20 minutes.

If I remember correctly, I purchased the packaged chicken that was pre-cut. There was no way I was cutting up a whole chicken...eww (nor do I know how, haha). As far as the apricot preserves go, I'm pretty sure I bought the smallest jar I could find. The sauce that comes out after you combine all the ingredients is really good! I also found that the sauce tasted even better when I ate the chicken for leftovers the next day. There's actually still some of this chicken in my freezer right now. :)

Here's a picture of the Russian salad dressing, in case you can't find it at the store...

Yay! I am FINALLY posting another recipe! It feels so good, and I still have a couple more to go!
