No one will mistake these crunchy chicken bites with sweet apricot sauce for fast food

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick cooking spray
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Pinch of cayenne pepper
4 large boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 2 pounds), cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup apricot jam or preserves
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and fit with a wire rack. Spray with cooking spray; set aside.
  • Place flour in a large bowl and season very generously with salt and pepper. Whisk eggs in another large bowl with 2 tablespoons water until well combined. Place the breadcrumbs in a third large bowl, and drizzle with olive oil; toss to coat. Stir in cheese and cayenne and mix well.
  • Place chicken pieces in the seasoned flour and toss to coat. Working in 3 batches, shake off any excess flour from chicken pieces and transfer to egg mixture; stir to combine. Transfer coated chicken pieces with a slotted spoon to the breadcrumb mixture and toss until completely coated. Place the breaded chicken pieces on a rack-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart. Repeat process until all the chicken is breaded. Bake until golden brown and chicken is cooked through, 18 to 20 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, stir the apricot jam, mustard, and thyme together until combined. Allow chicken to cool 10 minutes before serving with apricot mustard mixture.

Tips:

  • Choose the right mustard: The type of mustard you use will significantly impact the flavor of your chicken. For a milder flavor, use a yellow or Dijon mustard. For a spicier flavor, use a brown or whole-grain mustard. You can mix different types of mustard to create a custom flavor profile.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different apricots: Fresh, dried, or canned apricots can be used in this recipe. Fresh apricots are best used when they are in season. Dried apricots can be used year-round. Canned apricots are a good option if you are short on time.
  • Make sure the chicken is cooked thoroughly: Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. To ensure that the chicken is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: This chicken is delicious served with rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.

Conclusion:

Apricot mustard baked chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the apricot mustard glaze is the perfect finishing touch. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
