For an even deeper flavor, marinate the chicken in the apricot mixture for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight) in the refrigerator before baking. If the chicken starts to brown too quickly, tent the baking dish with foil during the last 15-20 minutes of cooking. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or thyme for a pop of color and freshness. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables, such as broccoli or asparagus, for a complete and balanced meal.
