How to Make Apricot Brandy Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the apricot jam, apricot brandy, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and honey until smooth.
  3. Place chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour the sauce evenly over them.
  4. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly and slightly thickened. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
