Remove from the oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful chicken.
For a richer flavor, try using a high-quality apricot preserve with chunks of fruit.
If you prefer a less tangy sauce, reduce the amount of Russian dressing slightly.
Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the apricot mixture for a subtle kick of heat.
Serve with a side of roasted vegetables like broccoli or asparagus for a complete meal.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
