Sweet and Sour Chicken Using Italian Dressing and Apricot Jam Recipe

Sweet and Sour Chicken Using Italian Dressing and Apricot Jam Recipe

  • 1 cup white rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 cup apricot jam
  • 1 cup Italian-style salad dressing (such as Wishbone®)
  • 1/2 cup dried minced onion
  • 1 (15 ounce) can diced pineapple, drained
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Bring rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken breasts on both sides, about 2 minutes per side.
  4. Combine apricot jam, Italian-style salad dressing, and dried onions together in a bowl. Place browned chicken in a baking dish and pour jam mixture over the chicken; bake for 15 minutes. Add the pineapple, chopped onion and chopped red bell pepper; continue baking until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside, another 15 minutes. Serve over cooked rice.
