Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4)
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 cup Bisquick
  • 1 tablespoon lemon peel, grated
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Lemon-Apricot Sauce
  • 2/3 cup apricot preserves
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Method

  • Heat oven to 425-degrees. Flatten each chicken breast half to 1/2-inch thickness between waxed paper or plastic wrap.
  • Spread 1 tablespoon of the melted butter in jelly roll pan or edged cookie sheet.
  • Beat egg and water together slightly.
  • Mix Bisquick, lemon peel, and garlic powder.
  • Dip chicken into egg mixture, then coat with Bisquick mixture. Place in pan. Drizzle with remaining melted butter.
  • Bake uncovered for 20 minutes, then turn chicken. Bake about 10 minutes longer or until juice of the chicken is no longer pink when centers of thickest pieces are cut.
  • Assemble Lemon-Apricot Sauce and heat in a 1-quart saucepan over medium heat until warm. (This can be started with just a few minutes left on the chicken.).
  • Cut chicken crosswise into slices, and top with sauce. Enjoy! Tastes great served with rice.
