Russian Chicken

This may sound like a weird combination of ingredients, but it is really good and easy to make.

4 chicken breasts
1 (10 oz) bottle Russian salad dressing
1 (10 oz) jar apricot preserves
1½ packages dry onion soup mix


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place chicken pieces in a 4 quart casserole dish. Mix the dressing, preserves, and soup mix together and pour over the chicken. Cover dish and bake for 1 hour in preheated oven.

This can also be made in the crock pot. Place the chicken in the crock pot. Mix the dressing, preserves, and soup mix together and pour over the chicken. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.

Josh's Motorcycle Trip

Every summer Josh and his dad rent motorcycles and go for a trip. This summer they decided to drive down to San Diego from Salt Lake City, then take Pacific Coast Highway up to Washington State. Josh stopped by my work really quick to take me for a ride around the block.
