A comforting and sophisticated dish featuring tender chicken glazed with sweet apricot preserves and savory soy sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1 cup apricot preserves
  • ¼ cup soy sauce or Tamari
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon ginger, grated (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish (optional)
  • Cooked rice or steamed vegetables for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Season the chicken thighs or breasts with salt and pepper.
  3. Whisk together apricot preserves, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a mixing bowl.
  4. Arrange the seasoned chicken in a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish.
  5. Pour the apricot sauce over the chicken, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  7. Baste the chicken with the sauce halfway through cooking for extra flavor.
  8. Broil the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes for a caramelized finish, watching closely to prevent burning.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro before serving.
  11. Serve the chicken alongside cooked rice or steamed vegetables.

Notes

Allow the chicken to rest after baking for tender, juicy meat and adjust seasonings to taste.
