Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Position oven rack to lowest position. Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan.

Step 4
In a bowl mix together the apricot preserves with dressing, minced garlic and dry onion soup mix; pour over the chicken, then turn to coat each piece once in the sauce leaving skin side facing up.
