How to Make Apple Butter Glazed Chicken
- 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.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Place 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a large food storage bag.
- Pour half of the cooled apple butter mixture over the chicken.
- Reserve the remaining apple butter mixture.
- Seal the bag tightly and gently massage the mixture into the chicken ensuring it is thoroughly coated.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight for maximum flavor).
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to high heat.
- Remove chicken from bag, reserving the marinade. Brush off any excess marinade from chicken and discard.
- Grill the chicken for approximately 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until nicely browned.
- 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).
