I used to make this same recipe in the late 70s and 80s (although I used pineapple/apricot preserves). Over the years I kept adding things to make it more of a complete meal. I would add canned pineapple chunks, bell peppers cut into wedges, fresh mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes. I would serve it over white rice. Thanks for bringing back a memory for me.
Hello again. Oh yes! that Russian dressing was very popular in the mid to late 70s. I worked for a restaurant and we always had it. Everybody asked for it that and the 1000 islands as I mentioned in another one of your videos. It’s wonderful to have fresh vegetables from your own garden, Good for you!
I must try this. Sounds lovely. Another simple glaze if you are interested is 1/4 cup maple syrup, tablespoon soy sauce and tablespoon balsamic syrup or vinegar. Salt and pepper the meat. I use duck breast as the original recipe called for but it would do well with skin on chicken thighs.
I love all your videos! It does feel like I’m sitting with you in your kitchen. The quick meals you are making all look delicious and are right up my alley. Thank you!
Just found your channel! I’m “silver”, happily married, and a retired former primary school librarian. We have much in common, except I live “way down south” in Georgia. I love ❤️ you, your easy to make recipes, and watching you prepare your meals. You make me feel as though I was with you in your kitchen. Thank you 😊
As a single woman with a disability I love simple recipes that don’t require a lot of mobility. I pack the leftovers in single servings in freezer bags that lay flat to save space. They defrost quickly and I reheat the food in microwave glass dishes. This way I always have something good to eat for the days when I’m not feeling great.
Thank you so much for including the recipe to read, so many are not doing that. Also your recipes are not hard to make and I really appreciate that. ❤❤❤❤
This looks delicious! I love these kinds of meals, where you can put everything in the oven (or slow cooker) more or less at the same time, and have your full meal later. Great for us "silvers." Thank you! ❤
Your kitchen is immaculate and your spice drawer is amazing. I see no guck anywhere. I haven’t thought about apricot chicken in years. I’m going to make this dish.
I love your show & I admire you very much. You make everything look delicious and easy to prepare. I'm never disappointed when I follow your instructions.
Thank you for sharing. I have done something similar in the crockpot. We live in Texas where it’s very hot in the summer so I try to use the crockpot a little more but in the oven it gets things brown and yummy. God bless you Colleen.❤️✝️🙏🇺🇸
This looks yummy. I remember making "homemade russian dressing" in the 70s. It was just mayonaise, tomato ketchup, garlic salt and worcestershire. We used it on salad but it would be good on this as well I think. Thank you for all your great videos and information. I really enjoy them.
Colleen----I really enjoy recipes like this....easy to prepare, simple ingredients, nothing outlandishly fancy. Thanks! Have watched--and been a subscriber---from your first video and really enjoy the Canadian connection. Nice to see products I can relate to..and buy...here in NB.
Everything looks great. Totally enjoy the quick meals . And it brings back good food and when familys used to sit and eat together . Memory's. Miss that myself .. yall have a wonderful evening and a Blessed tomorrow .. stay safe stay healthy stay positive always make it fun Love from Tucson Arizona 💗🦎🌵🌻🦉👩🏼🌾🌵🦎💗
Oh my... found your other video of chicken and cranberry.. and commented on how it reminded me of this recipe .. and here it is. Thank you! I haven't been able to find Russian dressing in the states very easily. Will have to look again. Ps. I use to add pineapple as well.
Beautiful, I will be making this to serve in my 2 high end cafes with your permission of course, just lovely, thank you oh and I try to make dinners for diabetics as well so will be using a sugar free apricot jam, let you know how it turned out❤️❤️😇❤️😀
I remember making this or something quite similar many years ago. It was delicious, and I am sure this will be as well! Also, this would make three meals for my husband and myself. Yummy and cost saving! Thanks so much.
I love being in your lovely kitchen! The chicken looks wonderful, Colleen. I will try it! I like knowing your prices too. You pay much more for groceries than I do here in central Pa. We pay enough for sure, but yours are higher. Thank you for the video.
Love your recipes. Haven’t made them all but what I have is yummy! There are only 2 of us and love the variety and left overs to freeze! Even if I don’t make your exact recipe. You give me great ideas to change slightly and always works! Thank you! It is nice to have someone who actually cooks!
Wow, this is another great recipe. Just a note, I live in Michigan, USA. Bone in skin on chicken thighs are $1.68 a lb at my local Walmart. Prices are so different in other areas.
You have convinced me that sheet pan vegetables are easy and delicious. I will have to try them very soon. Your recipes are always interesting and quite delicious. Thanks for sharing.
We are not big chicken thigh likers in my house so, I'm glad that you mentioned preparing this dish with chicken wings. That's much more up my alley. 😊😊 So, I'll definitely be trying this with chicken wings. To each their own, right? 😊😊
I just take the ends off my potatoes, let the ends sit out for a day to skin over the cuts then plant them deep in a tub of dirt and three months later, potatoes! Thanks for these chicken recipes!
The meals in both videos looked delicious. I want to try them in a slow cooker. Is either one of the sauces spicey in any way? Many thumbs up to your videos and you.

@@RosieKay-4151 and thank you for giving me more ideas. I love it 😀
I did the same thing! Yummy!!! Thanks for the reminder.
@@RosieKay-4151 oh that sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing those tips!
Leftovers are a reward for working so hard the first time 😊
@@asc3998 I love that!

Thanks so much! And thanks for watching, I appreciate it.
Question: can I make this chicken recipe without skin on?
I must try this. Sounds lovely. Another simple glaze if you are interested is 1/4 cup maple syrup, tablespoon soy sauce and tablespoon balsamic syrup or vinegar. Salt and pepper the meat. I use duck breast as the original recipe called for but it would do well with skin on chicken thighs.

Russian dressing is very good , thighs are my favorite.. this whole meal looks great ! Thanks for sharing Colleen! Blessings to you all!
Blessings to you and yours ❤
I have made this before, and just LOVE it!

Looks good Thank you for sharing. Quick meals at home are much better than fast food
Definitely! ❤
Eating the cranberry chicken as I watch this video, amazing, love it.
YUM!!!!. My sister who widowed makes smaller batches of things and packages them in single sized meals to freezer for later. Great idea!
I’ve made this with rice and a shredded Brussels sprout salad,, it’s so good

Sitting with my coffee right now. Thanks for another really good recipe.

@gaylekanak9269 that sounds much cleaner than the stuff coming from the bottle.
Another great chicken recipe
Bravo! I’ll have to try this - thanks. Also if you want to avoid seed oils a great option I recommend is Chosen spray avocado oil.
I love it. I will be making this dinner this week.❤
@@spger1 I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Looks so good and warming as it has begun getting a little cooler here.
Yummy! We love our oldie but goodies since that’s exactly what we are.😊
Funny that you said, "have a cup of coffee," as i was having tea while watching this.😄

Hugs! That is a delicious dish. Thanks hun!
Great recipe ideas!

I made this recipe and it was delicious the chicken was fork tender and the glaze was good over the chicken
Another winner
The meals in both videos looked delicious. I want to try them in a slow cooker. Is either one of the sauces spicey in any way? Many thumbs up to your videos and you.
I used to make chicken like this back in the 1970s - served over rice. So good but I lost the recipe book. Thanks for reminding me of it!!!
@@xo2quilt You're welcome!
