Spicy Apricot Chicken


So, I have a new favorite chicken recipe I got from the one and only EVERYDAY FOOD mag. It is faster than fast, and D-lish.

Ingredients

Serves 4

1/4 cup apricot jam
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 6 ounces each)
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Directions
Heat broiler, with rack set 4 inches from heat. In a small bowl, stir together jam and red-pepper flakes; set glaze aside.
Place chicken on an aluminum-foil-lined baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Broil until chicken begins to turn opaque, 5 to 6 minutes.
Brush glaze on chicken. Broil until glaze is browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of chicken registers 165 degrees, 4 to 5 minutes more.


P.S. I also added salt, pepper, and a little garlic salt to the glaze along with doubling the amount. Next time I will add in a separate cooking sheet with aluminum foil with just a little salt and pepper on chicken, for the kids, the glaze was just a tad too spicy for them.
