hey all! It has been a little while since I have posted...bEEN PREOCCUPIED WITH lots of packing and then lots and lots of driving (and stopping!)...to get to our new home in aRIZONA!
...lOTS OF HOURS IN THE CAR WITH 3 LITTLE ONES UNDER 4 YRS OLD (HE ISN'T EVEN 4 YET ;) dRIVING from UTah...FOLLOWING BEHIND MY HUSBAND IN THE moving truck...
DEFINITELY NOT AS FAST AS WE COULD have BE GOING...IF WE HAD 0-2 KIDS AND WITHOUT A MOVING TRUCK. HA-HA. bUT WE MADE IT!
tHIS HEAT HERE IN THE PRIME TIME OF SUMMER IS JUST RIDICULOUS, BUT WE ARE VERY MUCH LOOKING FORWARD TO OCTOBER WHEN WE HEar IT IS REALLY REALLY reeeally NICE--- ALL THE DAY LONG.
Aside from moving across states, this recipe is one that i have made at least 5, 6, 7 times in the past 3 months or so. Everyone in our family loves it...which, if you remember from past posts...its not always easy getting that outcome with the personality and taste buds within our homes walls. ha
My 2-yr old can be very picky with texture alone...and trying things outside of his ('lunch') box ;) And my husband (sometimes myself) is not very often a fan of onions or that flavoring in something he is going to love, but this has just that and we were both nicely surprised by its comfort food taste and wonderful flavor.
I hope you will give this one a try and let me in on how your dinner time goes. it is sure to delight you and the fam!

So here is the recipe!
(...And sorry Melissa, finally getting it on here!) Please tell me what you and your family think :)
SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN
INGREDIENTS
- 4 chicken breasts – skinless & boneless
- ½ cup Western or Red Russian Dressing
- ½ cup Apricot, Pineapple, Peach Jam or a combination
- 1 envelope Lipton Onion Soup Mix - dry
- 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce
- ¼-½ teaspoon red pepper flakes - per taste
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard – optional
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Spray a baking dish.
- Place the chicken in the dish.
- Combine all other ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well.
- Pour the Jam mixture over the chicken.
- Bake covered at 350F for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, remove the cover and bake 15-20 minutes or just until breasts are cooked through.
- Serve with rice.
- Enjoy!
Note: If you cant find the pineapple Apricot (mixed flavor) jam, just get one jar of each and scoop out 1/2 cup each flavor. So, in other words, one cup of the pineapple apricot preserves/jam or 1/2 cup pineapple preserves, 1/2 cup apricot preserves and half cup peach preserves.
*I have also added peach juice (from canned peaches in 100% juice) to the other jams when i couldn't find peach preserves and it turned out great!
