Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup Sugar-free apricot preserves
- 0.5 cup Sugar-free BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small mixing bowl, combine the sugar-free apricot preserves and sugar-free BBQ sauce. Mix well and set aside.
In another small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, then evenly sprinkle the spice mixture over both sides of the chicken, ensuring they are well coated.
In a large oven-safe skillet or a baking dish, arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer.
Pour the apricot BBQ sauce over the chicken, making sure each piece is well covered.
Place the skillet or baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.
