Honey Dijon Chicken

Ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
• 1/3 cup Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 3 tablespoons apricot preserves
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. 2

   Lightly spray the bottom and sides of a 10-inch casserole dish (or any baking pan large enough to hold the chicken breasts). Place the chicken breasts in the coated baking pan.

3. 3

   With a wooden spoon, mix the mustard, honey, apricot preserves, and ginger in a small mixing bowl until well blended. Brush (or spoon) the mustard mixture over the tops of the chicken breasts. Bake the chicken, uncovered, for 30-45 minutes (depending on thickness of the breasts).

4. 4

   After 15 minutes of baking turn over each chicken breast, spoon sauce over them, and continue baking for the remaining 15 minutes, or until breasts are thoroughly cooked.

5. 5

   Transfer the chicken breasts to individual plates. Spoon the sauce over each chicken breast serving.

6. 6

   (For my kids, I like to put their portion of the sauce into a small condiment cup so they can use it as a dipping sauce. What can I say -- it's a kid thing.).
