is perfect for a big meal that the whole family will devour, then ask for a second serve.

Ingredients

  • 6 – 8 Chicken Legs (any chicken pieces can be used)
  • 1 Large onion cut into rings
  • 2 packets of french onion soup
  • 1 large tin of apricots or you could use a small tin and a tin of apricot nectar
Method

Place the onion rings in the bottom of the crockpot, layer the chicken pieces on top.

Pour over the two packets of french onion soup mix and pour the apricots over the top.

If you would like Apricot Chicken Curry – add a teaspoon of curry powder.

Put slow cooker on low – and cook 4 – 5 hours. If you are using boneless chicken, cut down the cooking time by an hour (keep checking!).

Give it a good stir every two hours.

Enjoy the apricot chicken slow cooker with mashed potato and veggies!

Recipe Hints and Tips:
  • Never cook chicken pieces in the slow cooker for more than 5 hours, or it will be dry and stringy.
  • Recipe can be frozen.  Let the mixture cool and add the chicken AND liquid to a ziplock bag (3/4 fill the bag) for up to three months.

    I've been making this for months now and my sauce is never apricot and glossy like yours. I have also just been told that my husband doesn't like it, wonder what he is going to have for dinner tonight?
