Easy 3 Ingredient Apricot Chicken in the Crockpot

Back when my husband and I were first married and we were living on a small budget and almost no time as college students, I was introduced to this easy 3 Ingredient Apricot Chicken recipe.  We were both struggling to finish our college degrees at Brigham Young University and sometimes we barely had time to see each other between our crazy class schedules, homework, and part-time jobs.  We always needed quick and easy recipes that were easy on our tight budget too.  My brother-in-law is actually the one who shared this recipe with us.  He and my sister were also college students and this quick and zesty chicken dinner got them through too, I’m sure.  Since those days, life continues to be busy and I now make this easy recipe in my slow cooker and I think it could easily be adapted to my Instant Pot as well.

How to Make Easy Apricot Chicken in the Crockpot


Easy Slow Cooker Apricot Chicken

Besides chicken tenderloin or chicken breast, these are the only 2 ingredients you need.  Italian dressing and apricot preserves.  You can really use any Italian salad dressing.  I like to try to use Wishbone Fat Free Italian Dressing (or the store brand that imitates that like the one you see here).  You will also need a bottle of apricot preserves. 

 

 

 

Zesty Apricot Chicken Recipe

You basically just mix these two ingredients together in the slow cooker (see more details on that in the recipe below).  Be sure to do this part first so you can make sure it’s well mixed before you add the chicken.  You will use about 1/2 of the bottle of both of these for about 8-10 tenderloins.  You can also make this recipe in your Instant Pot (I own this one and I love it!) or just a glass casserole dish to bake in the oven.

Cook in your Crock Pot or slow cooker on low for 4-5 hours until chicken is cooked through.  There will be a deliciously sweet and zesty sauce.
