Categories     Dinner

Time 55m

Yield 1 serving.

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 tablespoon apricot preserves
1 tablespoon Russian or French salad dressing
Pinch ginger, optional
1 bone-in chicken breast half (8 ounces)
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine preserves, salad dressing and ginger if desired; set aside. Place chicken in a greased 8-in. square baking pan; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with apricot mixture. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 50-55 minutes or until chicken juices run clear.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

Apricot and French dressing chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken.
