Main Dish

Steps

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, mix the jam, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Place the chicken breast in a baking dish and pour the jam mixture over it, ensuring it is well coated.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Garnish with fresh herbs and serve with your choice of side.

Tips for Sweet and Savory Jam-Glazed Chicken

The glaze should look glossy and lightly browned at the edges; watch closely near the end, since jam can darken quickly.
A snug baking dish helps keep the glaze around the chicken; a meat thermometer can confirm doneness without overcooking.
For an even cook, choose a breast of consistent thickness; thicker portions may need more time than thinner ones.
