In a small bowl, whisk together the dry onion soup mix and apricot nectar until well combined. (3 minutes)

04

Step
1 mins

Pour the apricot nectar mixture evenly over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated. (1 minute)

05

Step
55 mins

Bake in the preheated oven for 55 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.

06

Step
2 mins

Gently nestle the drained apricot halves among the chicken thighs. (2 minutes)

Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the apricot halves to warm through and infuse their flavor into the chicken. (5 minutes)

08

Step

Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

For a richer flavor, try browning the chicken thighs in a skillet before baking.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, whisk a tablespoon of cornstarch into the apricot nectar mixture before pouring it over the chicken.
Serve this dish with a side of rice or couscous to soak up the delicious apricot sauce.

    Next time, I'll try using bone-in chicken breasts instead of thighs. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

  • Gabe Treutel

    I added some sliced almonds on top during the last 5 minutes of baking for added crunch. Delicious!

  • Kara Schoen

    This recipe was so easy to follow, and the chicken came out incredibly moist and flavorful! My family loved it!

  • Kraig Casper

    I found that 55 minutes was a bit too long for my oven, so I checked the internal temperature after 45 minutes. Better to be safe than sorry!

  • Guido Feil

    My kids are picky eaters, but they devoured this chicken! It's a winner!

  • Newell Windler

    The apricot sauce was a little too sweet for my taste, so I added a splash of apple cider vinegar to balance it out. Worked like a charm!

  • Alycia Buckridge

    This is a perfect weeknight meal. Minimal effort, maximum flavor!

  • Rahul Armstrong

    I was skeptical about the onion soup mix, but it added a fantastic savory depth to the dish. I'll definitely make this again!

  • Alfonzo Roob

    I accidentally used apricot preserves instead of apricot halves, and it still turned out great! The sauce was a bit thicker, but just as delicious.
