Apricot Glazed Chicken rec.food.cooking/LisaBeth Gai
4 whole chicken breasts, halved and skinned 2 teaspoons olive oil 1 clove garlic, minced 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper 2 tablespoons lemon juice 10 dried apricots 3/4 cup orange juice 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger (curly endive and more dried apricots for decoration)
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic, lemon pepper and lemon juice. Brush onto chicken place in baking pan and bake 30 min at 350.
Meanwhile, in a med. saucepan, place apricots and orange juice - bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer about 15 min (or until the apricots are tender) Stir in mustard, brown sugar and ginger - simmer 2 more minutes. Place the apricot mixture in a blender and blend for about 30 seconds - or until finely minced. Coat chicken with mixture and bake another 30 minutes (or until the chicken is done - a fork can be easily inserted into the breast). Place chicken under broiler for 1 min to slightly brown. Remove from pan and place on serving plates; garnish with endive and apricot halves.
This serves 8 but when I made 1/2 the recipe it was filling for 2 but we didn't have any left over (also depends upon the size of the chicken breasts you use)
