Eating Smarter Recipe: Apricot Chicken

December 28, 2009

Chicken is a great source of protein and there are endless ways to prepare it. I love the simplicity of this recipe because it only requires 4 ingredients – including the chicken. Now that’s eating smarter!

Apricot Chicken 

Ingredients:
4 (5 oz.) chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1/3 C. lite apricot preserves
Dash ground allspice

Directions:
Rinse chicken, pat dry, and place on broiler rack. Broil for about 6 minutes. Brush first side with lemon juice, turn chicken over and brush with remaining juice. Broil second side 6-9 minutes or until no longer pink and juices run clear. While chicken is broiling, heat apricot preserves and allspice in a small saucepan. Spoon over chicken breasts and serve. (Serves 4)

Serving Tip: This simple, tasty, and low fat dish is wonderful served with brown rice and a crisp, green salad.
