How to Make Apple Butter Glazed Chicken

1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup apple butter, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 teaspoon celery seed, and 1/4 cup finely chopped onion. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
2. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
3. Place 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a large food storage bag.
4. Pour half of the cooled apple butter mixture over the chicken.
5. Reserve the remaining apple butter mixture.
6. Seal the bag tightly and gently massage the mixture into the chicken ensuring it is thoroughly coated.
7. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight for maximum flavor).
8. Preheat your grill or grill pan to high heat.
9. Remove chicken from bag, reserving the marinade. Brush off any excess marinade from chicken and discard.
10. Grill the chicken for approximately 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until nicely browned.
11. Reduce heat to medium. Continue cooking chicken for another 15-25 minutes, basting frequently with the reserved marinade, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
