Apricot jam creates a sticky-sweet glaze for this chicken that’s perfect served on a bed of rice.

Ingredients

2 lb (1 kg) chicken breasts
2 lb (1 kg) chicken thighs
2 tbsp (30 mL) apricot jam
1 tbsp (15 mL) Dijon mustard
1 tbsp (15 mL) tarragon, fresh, minced
1 tsp (5 mL) tarragon, dried

Instructions

1 Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2 Combine jam, mustard and tarragon in a small saucepan. Heat just enough to melt jam and blend ingredients.
