# Apple-Glazed Chicken

## INGREDIENTS

* ¼ cup apple jelly
* 3 tablespoons white wine or chicken broth
* 2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions
* ½ teaspoon salt
* ¼ teaspoon pepper
* 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (4 ounces each)

**SERVES 4**

## Make Ahead

Make the jelly-wine mixture ahead and store in a jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat over low heat.

## VARIATION

Almost any fruit spread can be used in this recipe. Try cherry jelly or apricot jam to give chicken a new sweet flavor.

## DIRECTIONS

**1.** Preheat broiler. Line broiler pan with foil; spray with cooking spray. Blend jelly and white wine in a small saucepan. Heat, stirring continually, over medium heat until jelly melts.

**2.** Reduce heat. Add green onions, salt and pepper to saucepan; stir to combine well. Reserve ⅓ of mixture; set aside.

**3.** Place chicken on prepared pan; brush with jelly mixture. Broil, turning and brushing with jelly mixture frequently, until juices run clear when meat is pierced with a knife, about 20 minutes.

**4.** Heat reserved jelly mixture to serving temperature. Drizzle over chicken; serve immediately.

## Make It Quicker

* Keep jelly or jam jars easy to open. Before resealing, wipe the rim of both the jar and the lid with a moistened paper towel.
* Make the basting sauce in a jiffy using a wire whisk instead of a spoon. The tiny jelly particles will melt in an instant.
