Gather your ingredients. You will need 4 chicken breast or 8-10 tenderloins, Russian salad dressing, apricot jam, and onion soup mix. Easy list of ingredients, huh? In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup Russian dressing, 1/2 cup apricot jam, and 1/2 package of onion soup mix.
Stir until smooth.
Place chicken in a greased baking dish. Pour the sauce over the chicken.
Be sure to cover all the chicken pieces. Cover with foil and bake at 350°F for 1 hour, removing the foil for the last 20 minutes. This helps the sauce thicken a bit.
