Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper and put it into a baking dish.
Combine the salad dressing, soup mix, and preserves in a bowl. Mix well.
Pour the mixture over the chicken, making sure to cover the chicken completely.
Bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the size of your chicken pieces. Baste occasionally with the sauce.
