kathie lee gifford's mom's sweet and sour chicken

my mom got this recipe while watching an episode of regis & kathie lee years and years ago. it was kathie lee's mom's, and it's good. and crazy easy. so let's get started. you'll need a package of chicken strips, a can of pineapple chunks (or i bet fresh would be good too, i'm just too lazy), one green pepper, a packet of lipton onion soup mix, 8 oz. of russian dressing, and 8 oz. of apricot jam.start by cutting up your green pepper into cubes.

pour your dressing into a mixing bowl,
and your jam,
and your soup mix,
and 1/4 cup of water.
mix it all together.
now drain your pineapple,

and lay your chicken strips in the bottom of a foil-lined pan.
use a 9x13 or a square pan. i usually use a square pan, but today my square pan was otherwise occupied.
layer the chicken with green pepper and pineapple,
then pour your sweet and sour mixture on top of it all.

like this. yum
now cover with foil, and put in a 350* oven for an hour.
remove the foil lid after 30 minutes, and keep cooking.
serve over rice. steamed would probably be good, but i don't have a rice cooker so i just use minute rice. fast and easy.
