How to Make Apple Jelly Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  3. Place 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a baking dish.
  4. Pour the apple jelly mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme before serving. Serve immediately.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
