Ingredients

  • 1 (12 ounce) jar apricot preserves
  • 1/4 cup prepared Dijon-style mustard
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1 cup cashews, coarsely chopped
  • 4 chicken breast halves, skinless and boneless

Directions

Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by lightly greasing or spraying with nonstick spray.

Step 2 -In a large skillet over low heat on the stove-top, mix together the preserves, mustard, and curry powder.

Step 3 -Stir constantly until the preserves are melted and smooth. Then remove it from the heat.

Step 4 -Put the chopped cashews in a shallow bowl.

Step 5 -Dip each chicken breast first in the preserved mixture in the skillet and then roll it in the chopped cashews until fully coated.

Step 6 -Place the coated chicken in the prepared baking dish.

Step 7 -Put the chicken in the preheated oven and bake until the chicken juices run clear and no pink remains on the inside, about 20-30 minutes. The chicken should read 165 degrees F when a meat thermometer is inserted into its thickest part.

Step 8 -While chicken is cooking, boil the remaining sauce until thickened.

Step 9 -Serve on the side with the baked chicken.
