The theory is you dump this in a bag and freeze to pull out later. There are many variations which I will post separately but it's amazingly easy to make these up and have a different "dump" chicken every week!

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
8 ounces apricot jam
12 ounces salsa
1 1/2 lbs chicken pieces (4-6 pieces)

Directions

1
For immediate cooking: Pre-heat oven to 350°F Place all ingredients into a large baking dish, turn chicken to coat.
2
Bake until chicken juices run clear (45-60 minutes for chicken pieces, or 20-30 minutes for chicken breasts).
3
For freezing: Place all ingredients into a 1 Gallon freezer bag.
4
Lay flat in freezer.
5
To thaw and cook: Take the bag out of the freezer the night before, make sure the baggie is completely closed.
6
Place the Bag on a refrigerator shelf to thaw.
7
Preheat the oven to 350°F Empty the contents of the bag into a large baking dish and bake until the juices run clear (45-60 minutes for chicken pieces, or 20-30 minutes for chicken breasts).

I found this a extremely easy recipe to make. I turned the heat down to 300 degrees on the oven and started rice on the stove top to serve with the chicken. Overall the chicken breasts baked for 40 minutes and came out very juicy. Loved the hint of sweet flavor provided by the apricot preserves (I didn't have jam). This was a hit tonight! Made, served and devoured on a cold Michigan night.

This definitely gets points for ease! We used chicken breasts which came out very moist. Obviously, the salsa and the taco seasoning go well together, and I like how the jam (we used sugar-free, btw) is just a subtle sweetness in the background. Thank you for posting!

This was really good, the flavor went throughout the entire piece of chicken, not just the skin. I dumped the bag into my crockpot and cooked on high for about 3 1/2 hours or so - it was just perfect. May I suggest throwing in some rice the last half hour of cooking to go with all that delicous sauce? Thanks for a great OAMC-to-crockpot recipe, Tish!

Amazing, the family loves this. Thank you Trish, it's such a welcome change from the regular baked chicken. I served it with cornbread and cooked carrots as a veggie (carrots were all I had on hand at the time) and a green salad. It all came together beautifully!! Will use this again.
