Benefits:

This recipe is a healthy and delicious way to enjoy chicken. The apricot glaze adds sweetness and flavor, while the Dijon mustard and soy sauce add complexity. The chicken is a good source of protein, which is essential for building and repairing muscle tissue. The apricot preserves are a good source of vitamin A, which is important for vision and immune function.

Tips:

• You can use any type of jam or preserves that you like in this recipe. I recommend using a jam or preserves that is made with real fruit and contains no added sugar.
• If you want a spicier glaze, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
• You can also add other vegetables to the baking dish, such as broccoli, carrots, or sweet potatoes.
• To make sure that the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chicken is done when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
