- In a small bowl, stir together the apricot preserves and dry onion soup mix until well combined.
- Pour the apricot mixture evenly over the chicken, making sure all pieces are coated.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or HIGH for 2½–3 hours, until the chicken is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
