Best Slow Cooker Apricot Chicken Recipes

SLOW COOKER APRICOT CHICKEN

Steps:

• Put a couple of Tablespoons of coconut oil (or vegetable oin) in a frypan and lightly brown the chicken pieces and then place the chicken into the slow cooker. *This step can be omited and the chicken can be added directly to the slow cooker if you are in a hurry or would like to reduce the calories further, but I like the richer flavor that lightly browning the chicken imparts.
• in a medium bowl, mix together the apricot jam, the french dressing and the pkg. of onion soup mix. Pour this over the top of the chicken, making sure each piece is covered with at least some of the sauce. Put the lid on and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours).
• During the last 1/2 hour of cooking, mix the cornstarch and chicken broth together and stir into the chicken/apricot sauce mixture. Replace the lid and let thicken slightly. Stir gently just before serving. We serve this over cooked rice, barley or pasta.
