Mel's Russian Chicken Dish

Submitted by HokiesMom

"A different version of sweet and sour chicken which includes some fruit as a nice surprise. I was not sure of the ounces in a package of the onion soup mix, but it is one envelope of dry mix. It has always been a hit in our family. I hope yours will enjoy it too."

This was great and easy to put together. Nice flavor and not overly sweet. I cooked mine a little longer but my chicken pieces were large. Served over brown rice with a side of steamed broccoli. Made for Football pool win week #2.
