Apricot-Glazed Chicken

This recipe is fantastically easy. With three ingredients, it's hard to go wrong!

You will need:
Chicken breasts
Apricot jam
Red pepper flakes
Also, salt & pepper, but since everyone always has them in their kitchen, they don't really count.

Preheat your broiler and adjust a rack to 4-6 inches from it. In a small bowl, combine a quarter-cup of jam and a teaspoon of red pepper flakes.

Line a baking sheet with foil and season the chicken with salt and pepper.

Put the chicken in the oven for 5-6 minutes, until it starts to turn opaque. Remove and coat with the jam.

Place back in the oven for another 5-6 minutes, until done.

Easy! Also, delicious.

Serves as many as you need it to.
Difficulty: 1
Takes about 20 minutes, start to finish.

All my recipes are rated on the "Can My Brother Do It?"scale of difficulty. Here's how it breaks down:

Level 1: About as complicated as PBJ.

Level 2: Probably requires the boiling of water and the melting of butter, but isn't rocket science.

Level 3: Probably requires you to know some common cooking terms, but you can still do it and watch Downton Abbey at the same time.

Level 4: You should not attempt this recipe drunk, high, or in high heels. May also be a time commitment.

Level 5: Do not try this at home! You'll likely burn the house down. Go over to your ex-boyfriend's house. Burn his house down. Alternatively, go over to MY ex-boyfriend's house.
