Ingredients
1/2 cup apricot preserves
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup onion, minced
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
1/8 teaspoon oregano
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
I also added some rice wine vinegar and just added a little more of the preserves to compensate as I love the flavour this gives.
Method
1. In a flat glass or china dish or a mixing bowl, combine fruit spread, soy sauce, lemon juice, onion, parsley, and oregano; set aside 1/4 cup of mixture for basting sauce.
2. Add chicken breasts to remaining mixture and turn several times, coating well.
3. Refrigerate at least 5 hours or overnight; turn pieces several times during refrigeration.
4. Remove from marinade and place in a single layer in a baking pan.
5. Bake, uncovered, in a 375°F oven 30-45 min’s or until chicken is tender and lightly browned. (cooking time will vary for chicken wieght.)
6. Brush with reserved sauce several times during cooking.
7. Brush remaining reserved sauce on chicken just before serving.
I actually boiled reserved marinade and served it as a sauce to pour over the top.
