Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 1/2 – 3 pounds total)
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1 cup apricot preserves
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Evenly arrange the chicken breasts in a 9×13 baking pan and set aside.
- Add the apricot preserves into a small, microwave-safe bowl and microwave for about 10 seconds to slightly warm and loosen the preserves. Stir in the chopped thyme.
- Evenly spread the apricot preserves mixture over the tops of the chicken. Cover with foil and bake for 35-40 minutes. Remove the foil, baste the chicken with the juices and glaze from the bottom of the pan and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the top of the chicken starts to turn golden brown and is cooked through. The glaze will also reduce a bit.
- Serve the chicken with the glaze from the pan spooned over the top. Enjoy!
Notes
- Chicken thighs or chicken tenderloins can also be used for this recipe. Cooking time may need to be adjusted as they are smaller and thinner.
- If using dried thyme, use 1/2 teaspoon.
