How to Make Apricot Glazed Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together apricot preserves (1 cup), Dijon mustard (1 tablespoon), soy sauce (1 tablespoon), and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  3. Place chicken breasts (4, about 6 ounces each) in a baking dish.
  4. Pour the apricot glaze over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated.

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.
