Apricot Chicken Bake
Serving Size : 6
6 chicken breast halves
1 cup apricot nectar
1/2 tsp. ground allspice
1/8 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. fresh ground black pepper
1/4 tsp. salt
1/3 cup apricot preserves
3 tbsp. pecans toasted
Have the chicken breasts skinned and boned. Place the chicken in an oven-proof
pan large enough that the chicken will not be overlapping.
Combine the next 5 ingredients and pour over the chicken, turning the chicken to
get the marinade over all parts. Cover tightly and refrigerate overnight or at
least 8 hours.
Remove from refrigerator and let stand for 30 minutes.
Cover tightly with foil and bake in preheated 350� F. oven for 30 minutes.
Uncover, drain and discard liquid from chicken, and keep warm.
Heat apricot preserves and brush over chicken. Bake, uncovered, 20 - 30 minutes
longer, basting with preserves another 2 times.
Remove to serving platter and sprinkle with toasted pecans.
Serving Ideas : Serve over rice.
NOTES : Requires eight hours or more to marinate
before baking
