Cooking Instructions

  • Place the chicken breasts right in the bottom of your crockpot. Don’t worry if they’re touching a bit.
  • Mix the Catalina dressing, apricot preserves, tomato paste, and onion soup mix in a bowl until smooth.
  • Pour the sauce over the chicken breasts, making sure each piece is coated evenly.
  • Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours (or high for 3–4 hours) until the chicken is tender pull.
  • Use a natural release if using a pressure cooker. Serve hot over rice, noodles, or preferred sides.

Notes

Great for make-ahead meals and freezer-friendly. Sauce thickens upon standing and reheating.
