Baked Apricot Chicken

Baked Apricot Chicken - Do you love chicken thighs? I used to turn my nose up to dark meat, but now it's my fave!! I especially love how affordable they are! If being married to Don has taught me anything in the past 24 years, it has taught me to save money where and when I can!!

Not only are chicken thighs a less expensive cut, but they are juicy and more flavorful too! I prefer to buy them with the skin and bones as that adds even more flavor!

This recipe for Baked Apricot Chicken is bursting with deliciousness! The sweetness from the apricot preserves mixed with the tangy Catalina dressing is a perfect combo! With just 4 ingredients, it is super easy to make too!!

Serve this up with a salad and you have an economical, delicious dinner the whole family will LOVE!

  1. I've becoming a chicken thigh convert. It used to only be white meat chicken for me, but lately, I've been coming over to the dark side. Love the ease of this recipe.
