I love this recipe I am a truck driver so this worked great in the crockpot! !
OMGosh, this chicken is good!! The wonderful smells coming from the oven as it cooked had my boyfriend drooling.. He practically scarfed it down as soon as I took it out of the oven! Big big hit 😉
I used apricot ‘Simply Fruit’ as that’s what I had on hand, and I left out the added salt since the soup mix is so salty & we’re trying to cut back. I also only used half the honey called for.. And it was still absolutely DEVINE served over rice, as suggested. This recipe is a keeper. Thank you so much for sharing it!!
The boyfriend has already asked when I’ll make it again, lol! 🙂
This on my menu to make this week!!!
