Pre-heat oven to 200 degrees celsius / 390 degrees fahrenheit (fan-forced).
Coat tenderloins in flour (with a little salt and pepper added).
Heat oil in a frypan and cook the tenderloins on both sides for 2 minutes.
Place tenderloins in a baking dish. Sprinkle with french onion soup mix.
Drain apricot halves and place apricots in baking dish. Pour apricot nectar over all of the ingredients.
Place lid on baking dish (or cover with foil).
Bake covered for 50 minutes. Remove lid or cover and then bake again for 10 minutes.
Remove from oven. If you wish to thicken the sauce, mix the cornflour with a little water and add to baking dish. Stir through before serving.
Serve with rice and vegetables.

After cooking the tenderloins in the frypan, add all the ingredients to your slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 4 hours.

Tips:

You can skip the step of cooking the tenderloins in the frypan first, but it is a whole lot better when you take the little extra time required to brown the chicken before cooking in the oven.
If using another cut of chicken, you may need to adjust the cooking time slightly. Chicken thighs and drumsticks also work well with this recipe.
