How to Make Apricot Glazed Chicken Breasts

1. Preheat your broiler.
2. Line a broiler pan with aluminum foil.
3. Lightly spray the broiler pan rack with nonstick cooking spray.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup apricot preserves (or marmalade), 1 tablespoon ketchup, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, and 1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce (optional).
5. Season both sides of the chicken breasts generously with 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, salt, and pepper to taste.
6. Place the chicken breasts, skin-side down, on the prepared broiler pan. Broil 4-6 inches from the heat for 5 minutes.
7. Flip the chicken breasts and broil for another 3 minutes.
8. Brush each chicken breast with half of the apricot glaze. Broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the glaze is bubbly and the chicken is no longer pink in the thickest part.
9. Turn the chicken breasts and brush with the remaining glaze. Broil for 1 minute more.
10. Remove from the broiler and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Serve immediately with rice and your favorite steamed vegetables.
