Ingredients

  • 4–6 boneless breast chicken halves (about 2 pounds)

Sauce

  • ¼ cup (½ stick) Challenge Butter
  • 1 Tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
  • ½ cup apricot preserves
  • ⅛ teaspoon red pepper

Directions

  • 1
    Melt butter and whisk in mustard, apricot preserves, and red pepper. (Sauce may be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated. Warm slightly and whisk to a smooth consistency before serving.)
  • 2
    Grill or broil chicken until browned. (Parboil or microwave chicken to shorten cooking time, if desired.) Chicken is done when juices run clear and it is no longer pink inside.
  • 3
    Use about half the sauce to baste frequently during final cooking stage. Serve chicken hot accompanied by remaining sauce.
