Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Bring rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.

  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown chicken breasts on both sides, about 2 minutes per side.

  4. Combine apricot jam, Italian-style salad dressing, and dried onions together in a bowl. Place browned chicken in a baking dish and pour jam mixture over the chicken, bake for 15 minutes. Add the pineapple, chopped onion and chopped red bell pepper, continue baking until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside, another 15 minutes. Serve over cooked rice.

Recipe Note

Got this recipe from a roommate and have received countless compliments in dinner groups. When I'm cooking for dinner group (a lot of people), sometimes I use a 16-ounce bottle Italian dressing with an 18-ounce jar of apricot jam.
