What You’ll Need
- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Choose four pieces of similar thickness so they finish baking around the same time.
- Apricot preserves. Use 1 cup. The small pieces of fruit can stay in the glaze.
- Dry onion soup mix. Stir one packet into the preserves for a savory balance to the sweet apricot.
How to Make Chicken Bellhaven
Arrange the chicken in a single layer in a lightly greased glass baking dish. Mix the apricot preserves and onion soup mix, then spread the glaze evenly over the tops. Bake uncovered at 350°F for 35 to 45 minutes, checking the thickest part of each breast with a food thermometer.
What to Serve with Apricot-Glazed Chicken
Serve the chicken with rice or mashed potatoes to catch the extra glaze. Green beans or roasted broccoli make a simple side.
