How to Make Crockpot Catalina Apricot Chicken

  1. Place 1.5-2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a greased 3-1/2 to 5-quart slow cooker.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup Catalina salad dressing, 1 packet dry onion soup mix, and 1 cup apricot preserves.
  3. Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken in the slow cooker.
  4. Cover and cook on low heat for 5-7 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and easily shreds with a fork. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  5. **Do not cook on high heat.**
  6. Shred the chicken with two forks directly in the slow cooker.
  7. Serve the shredded chicken over hot cooked rice and garnish with a fresh garden salad.
