Messy Chicken
This recipe is from my best friend Jessica and a favorite in our house. 
1 pkg chicken pieces cut up (can use all breast)
1 jar apricot preserves                                  1 pkg onion soup mix
1- 16 oz of Catalina or Russian dressing                          1 clove garlic minced
Salt & pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, mix the dressing, onion soup mix, minced garlic, and preserves. The sauce should be thick and should have a sweet onion aroma. Put the pieces of chicken into a large oven safe pan, sprayed with Pam and smother it with the sauce. Cook for about an hour and baste every 15-20 minutes.
