Easy Baked Apricot Chicken Breast image

You can use a whole cut-up chicken or 10 chicken thighs if desired and increase baking time. if you are in a hurry you can omit the browning, but the chicken will not be as good, you can double this recipe but you will need a large baking dish, or just double the sauce amounts. Serve with cooked rice. Do not season the chicken with any salt, the dry soup mix already has enough in it.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some leftover rotisserie chicken, and it was delicious. The glaze is really what makes this dish special.
