Easy, Cheap and Delicious ‘Sweet and Sour Chicken’ Recipe
I asked my dad to recommend a yummy dish that could comfortably feed 6 people, wouldn’t break the bank and didn’t involve any fancy preparation. At first I was skeptical of his suggestion, but after trying out this recipe over the weekend, I’m completely sold. This is definitely a dish I’ll be making for many years to come.
Ingredients:
- 1 whole chicken cut up (I was shocked this only cost $6.25!)
- 3/4 cup apricot preserves
- 1/3 cup Russian salad dressing
- 1 package of Lipton dry onion soup mix
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Wash the chicken, pat dry and arrange in a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
- Spread apricot preserves over chicken pieces like you were putting jelly on toast. Be plentiful.
- Pour Russian salad dressing over the chicken. Not too much.
- Shake up contents of dry Lipton onion soup mix, open and sprinkle over the chicken.
- Bake uncovered at 375 until the chicken starts to brown. About 1 hour.
Thanks again, Dad! It was a big hit.
