Holiday Honey Chicken with Fruit Recipe
- 2 cups orange juice
- 1 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 to 2 tablespoons grainy mustard
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 8 5- to 6-ounce skinless, boneless chicken-breast halves, trimmed
- 1 cup pitted prunes
- 1 cup dried apricot halves
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the orange juice, honey, lemon juice, mustard, salt, and pepper.
- Place the chicken breasts in a shallow glass dish or a large zip-top freezer bag.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken, or seal and squish the bag to coat it.
- (If using a bag, place in a bowl to guard against leaks.)
- Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours or overnight.
- To bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a large roasting pan.
- Arrange the chicken in a single layer in the prepared pan, and scatter the dried fruit over and around the chicken.
- Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, discarding the remainder.
- Bake, basting the chicken and pressing the fruit down into the juices once or twice, until the chicken is no longer pink in the thickest part, about 45 minutes.
- Serve the chicken with the fruit and pan juices.
