Apricot Glazed Chicken

[alex2678]

Made this for dinner last week and it came out really good. Thought I'd share.

Chicken Breasts/Boneless,Skinless Thighs/Pork Tenderloin or Turkey
1/2 Cup Smuckers Sugar Free Apricot Preserves
1/4 Cup Dijon mustard/Grey Poupon
1/2 tsp Hot sauce (Optional)
2 tsp Rosemary
2 tsp Thyme
1-2 tbs Olive oil
Salt and Pepper to taste


In medium saucepan, whisk apricot preserves over medium heat until melted and smooth. About 1 minute. Add dijion mustard. Whisk until sauce begins to simmer. About 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in chopped rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper. Pour over chicken and bake.

You could also make the sauce and just add it to already baked/grilled chicken. The rosemary and thyme give off more of an better flavor if it's slow cooked though.

Bake with some diced yams, zuchinni, eggplant and onions as a side.

Hmm, that sounds good! I'll have to try that.

Do you use fresh spices/herbs? I cook a LOT and pride myself on cooking, but I end up wasting a lot of money buying fresh stuff. So I usually use the dried spices/herbs.

Of course if I have a new girl over for dinner and I want to get laid, then only the fresh stuff. Ahh yea. The things we do for women!

LOL. Fresh herbs usually. My family always had a huge garden in the backyard growing up so I got used to having fresh basil, rosemary, thyme...The dried is good too. More convenient and a little less pricey.
