Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup Apricot preserves (sugar-free or low-sugar)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the apricot preserves, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, olive oil, and minced garlic until well combined.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly coat the skillet with cooking spray or an additional teaspoon of olive oil if needed.
Sear the chicken breasts in the skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the skillet from heat.
Pour the apricot mustard sauce evenly over the chicken breasts.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve the chicken with your favorite healthy side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or brown rice.
