In the picture there are around buns? Or are they round potatoes? I am curious and would like to see the recipe for them. This recipe is also great on carrots! I didn’t want to get rid of the extra sauce because I had made too much. So in a separate pot I put it in with some carrot dollars. Everyone loved it! -
Is the French dressing just liquid French salad dressing?

This is an outstanding recipe. I have made it for years. Instead of French dressing, I use Russian. Also, I use the whole amount of Russian dressing that is in a small bottle. Great with parsley potatoes. A sure keeper in your recipe box. -
The flavours in this chicken dish are divine. I used 3 chicken breasts and cooked on low for 3 1/2 hours. Just the right amount of tasty sauce. Thaks for posting. =) -
Also works with apricot sauce from Trader Joes! I use it with a bit of honey and spices like nutmeg and cinnamon. -
My mother made this as the first recipe that she prepared for my father after they got married, and I continued the tradition with my husband! I ususally bake this in the oven, and finish it off by turning on the broiler for a few minutes. This caramelizes the sauce and gives the chicken a nice crunchy exterior and beautiful color.

I'm making this recipe for the 2nd time (in the oven, as I write this), and it's delicious. I followed the sauce ingredients as written. The only changes I made: I used 4 large chicken thighs, (about 1 lb) and baked it in the oven at 350, for 55 min. That's also the method I used last time, cause it's cold and rainy outside. I like extra sauce, so even though chicken weight was reduced, kept the sauce the same. Will serve over rice. Yummy.

i made something similar years ago, but done in the oven. i like the addition of the onion soup mix! im guessing it mellows down the sweetness a little. in the one i make, i added about 10 fresh sage leaves, which added another layer of flavor. you could probably use dried sage too
