Sweet Salsa Dump Chicken

The theory is you dump this in a bag and freeze to pull out later.

1 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
8 ounces apricot jam
12 ounces salsa
1 1/2 lbs chicken pieces (4-6 pieces)

For immediate cooking:
Pre-heat oven to 350 Place all ingredients into a large baking dish, turn chicken to coat. Bake until chicken juices run clear (45-60 minutes for chicken pieces, or 20-30 minutes for chicken breasts).

For freezing:
Place all ingredients into a 1 Gallon freezer bag. Lay flat in freezer. To thaw and cook: Take the bag out of the freezer the night before, make sure the baggie is completely closed. Place the Bag on a refrigerator shelf to thaw. Preheat the oven to 350. Empty the contents of the bag into a large baking dish and bake until the juices run clear (45-60 minutes for chicken pieces, or 20-30 minutes for chicken breasts).
