Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Jalapeno pepper jelly
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove chicken temporarily and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the jalapeno pepper jelly, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and butter. Stir until the jelly is melted and a smooth glaze forms, about 2 minutes.

Step 5

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon some of the glaze over the top of each piece, and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.

Step 6

Bake the chicken in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 7

Every 5-10 minutes, baste the chicken with the glaze from the skillet to keep it moist and flavorful.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve with your choice of sides such as roasted vegetables or rice.
