Step 3: Season each piece of chicken with black pepper and garlic powder. Add to the skillet and brown on both sides (about 3 minutes per side). Transfer to the baking dish (skin side facing up).
-
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.
