Chicken Boston

Ingredients

• 1 cup thousand island salad dressing
• 1 cup pineapple-apricot preserves
• 1/4 cup grated onion
• 1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 whole chicken, cut into 8 pieces, washed and patted dry
• 4 large potatoes – peeled and halved lengthwise

Directions

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

In a bowl, stir together the thousand island salad dressing, pineapple-apricot preserves, grated onion, dry onion soup mix, and cinnamon until well blended. Place chicken in a large, oiled baking dish. Arrange potato halves around the edges of the pan, fitting chicken and potatoes tightly together in a single layer. Brush sauce over chicken, coating completely. Cover with aluminum foil.

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and remove foil. Continue baking 15 minutes more, or until potatoes are fork-tender and chicken is no longer pink in center. Both should have a beautiful golden brown glaze.
