Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 (6-ounce) skinless boneless chicken breast halves
5/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup apricot preserves
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in lower third of oven and preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly oil a 13- by 9-inch flameproof baking dish (not glass).
  • Pat chicken dry and sprinkle all over with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper total, then arrange at least 1/4 inch apart in baking dish. Bake 10 minutes.
  • While chicken bakes, toast almonds in a small baking pan in oven, stirring twice, until golden, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook apricot preserves, soy sauce, mustard, butter, and remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small saucepan over moderate heat, stirring, until preserves are melted. Pour sauce over chicken and continue to bake until chicken is just cooked through, about 10 minutes more.
  • Turn on broiler and broil chicken 4 to 5 inches from heat, basting once, until chicken is glazed and browned in spots, about 3 minutes. Serve sprinkled with almonds.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some leftover roasted chicken and it worked perfectly in this dish.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my chicken didn't turn out as good as I hoped. It was a bit bland and the sauce was too thin.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times and it's always a hit. The chicken is always tender and juicy, and the sauce is delicious.

I tried this recipe and the chicken was dry and overcooked. I think I cooked it for too long.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less sugar in the sauce.

I'm not a big fan of almonds, so I omitted them from this recipe. The chicken was still delicious and the sauce was flavorful.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great. I used a combination of dried and fresh apricots, and I think it gave the dish a nice balance of flavors.

This apricot chicken with almonds was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the sauce was sweet and tangy. The almonds added a nice crunch. I will definitely be making this again.
