Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 18 oz apricot preserves about 1 jar
  • 1 cup orange juice or orange juice blend
  • 2 oz onion soup mix about 1 envelope

Instructions
 

  • Place the 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts in the slow cooker in a single layer.

  • Pour the apricot-orange mixture evenly over the chicken, coating each piece.
  • Cover and cook on Low for 4–5 hours (about 240–300 minutes) or until the chicken is tender and reaches a safe internal temperature.
