Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup Grand Marnier
1 1/4 cups apricot jam, plus additional for basting
1 teaspoon orange zest (orange part only)
3/4 cup distilled white vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon dried red pepper
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (or your favorite chicken pieces)

Steps:

In a saucepan, combine Grand Marnier, jam, zest, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, honey and red pepper flakes. Simmer over medium-low heat just until honey and jam are melted. Remove from heat; cool to room temperature.
Place chicken breasts, then marinade, in a zip-top plastic bag; marinate at least 4 hours and preferably overnight, refrigerated.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Place chicken breasts in a shallow glass baking dish. Pour marinade over all. Baste breasts with apricot jam.
Cover loosely and bake 45 minutes to 1 hour, basting with remaining marinade every 15 minutes.
