Could I make this recipe in a slow cooker?
I love using my slow cooker. Especially on those days where I know I won’t be home and my kids will get home late and ask what we are eating for dinner. (Those are the best nights, ya know?)
I always keep ingredients for this recipe on hand. I have never personally made it in the slow cooker, but I am sure it would work great.
If you cook it with thawed chicken in the slow cooker, it will only be about 3-4 hours on low.
If you do frozen chicken, we recommend cooking it on low for about 5 hours.
You could also shred it, and out the chicken back in the slow cooker, to soak up all the extra juices, if it is seeming a little dry.
add more heat:
If you are looking to add more heat to this recipe, you could add a few chopped jalapeños, add red pepper flakes, or add more hot pepper sauce.
We like ours a little more on the mild side, with just a slight hint of heat, but I get some people like to crank the heat up, and dip this chicken in ranch.

Yum! I’m going to put this on next week’s dinner list! I think I’ll use chicken breasts. I don’t like chicken skin either!
This marinade tasted like sweet and sour chicken, so I made some rice and steamed some broccoli to serve with it. I used breasts into strips and cooked them for 30 minutes at 350*. Delicious! (Although I might add a little more hot sauce next time!)
Are there any good alternative for the apricot preserve??? This sounds really yummy and I have all of the ingredients except for that 🙁 Thanks for sharing this lovely recipe!
I am not sure what else would work! I am so sorry about that! Let us know if you try something different!
Just made this using Pineapple Preserves because I had some on hand- turned out GREAT!!
Could you cook this in a crock pot instead of the oven?
Hi Shawn!
I have never tried it in the crock pot, but I am sure you could cook it on high for about 4 hours or low for 6 and it would work. Let us know how it goes if you try it!
I just did it with strawberry jelly and it turned out amazing. Thanks for the great recipe!
Had this for dinner and loved it! Made 1/2 the sauce and used 6 skinless chicken thighs. Served with brown rice and steamed snow peas. Thanks for sharing 🙂
This sounds soooo good. I don’t happen to have apricot preserves on hand But I do have razzleberry preserves, fig preserves, orange preserves and blackberry preserves …what do you think would be best??
Whichever one tastes the most like apricot preserves.
Try raw honey 🙂
Loved this recipe! Quick and Easy and all four of my BOYs asked me to make it AGAIN! Its going on the regular dinner menu rotations! woot! Thanks ladies!
My picky son said I don’t know what you made but it’s really good. I also made some steam corn from a can and they loved it. So yes thanks for sharing.
I used marmalade, it made it orange-y instead of a peachy flavor which I liked a bit more. Made it taste a bit asian actually!
You could easily use peach preserves or jam in place of the apricot.
Can this be done in an Instant Pot ?
This is on our list to try in the IP, but we haven’t yet.
