Grilled Breast of Chicken with
Apricot Mustard Sauce

Grill this backyard favorite to moist perfection by smothering it with a mild-heat sauce infused with the sweet, mellow tones of apricots.

Yield: 4 to 6 servings; 3/4 cup sauce

Ingredients

Chicken

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

Sauce

• 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) Danish Creamery Butter
• 1 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
• 1/2 cup apricot preserves
• 1/8 teaspoon red pepper

Instructions

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. Use about half the sauce to baste frequently during final cooking stage.
3. Serve chicken hot accompanied by remaining sauce.
