Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Crock Pot Catalina Chicken
  1. In your Crock Pot, place the chicken breasts at the bottom. Pour in the Catalina dressing, followed by the apricot jam, tomato paste, and onion soup mix. Stir everything together gently until the chicken is well coated with the sauce mixture.
  2. Cover your Crock Pot with its lid, sealing in the delicious aromas. Set your Crock Pot to low heat and let it cook for approximately 3 to 4 hours until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
  3. Once the cooking time is complete, carefully remove the lid from the Crock Pot. Gently take out the chicken and shred it with two forks, returning it to the pot to mix with the sauce.
  4. Serve the shredded Crock Pot Catalina Chicken over warm white or brown rice, allowing the sauce to soak into the rice for enhanced flavors.
