Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish large enough to fit the chicken breasts in a single layer.

  2. In a small bowl, combine the apricot preserves, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir well to blend all the flavors together.

  3. Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and season them lightly with salt and pepper.

  4. Pour the apricot sauce over the chicken, making sure to coat each breast evenly.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly and caramelized.

  6. If desired, you can broil the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes to get a nice golden color on top.

  7. Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

  8. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
