8 to 10 chicken breasts, thighs or drumsticks
1 pkg. dried onion soup mix
1 c. water or chicken broth
8 oz. French dressing
8 oz. apricot jam

In a blender, combine all ingredients (except chicken).

Remove skin from chicken and arrange in a shallow baking pan or casserole. Sprinkle lightly with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, if desired.

Pour 1/2 of the blended mixture over chicken.

Bake in a preheated 350°F for 45 minutes. Turn pieces and pour remaining mixture over chicken and bake for another 30 minutes or until chicken is tender and juices run clear (chicken will read 160°F on a meat thermometer). You may use boneless, skinless chicken breasts for this recipe, if desired.
