       Title: Apricot Chicken Bake
  Categories: Poultry
       Yield: 6 servings
  
       6    Chicken breast halves
       1 c  Apricot nectar
     1/2 ts Ground allspice
     1/8 ts Ground ginger
     1/4 ts Fresh ground black pepper
     1/4 ts Salt
     1/3 c  Apricot preserves
       3 tb Pecans, toasted
  
      Have the chicken breasts skinned and boned. Place
   the chicken in an oven-proof pan large enough that the
   chicken will not be overlapping.
      Combine the next 5 ingredients and pour over the
   chicken, turning the chicken to get the marinade over
   all parts. Cover tightly and refrigerate overnight or
   at least 8 hours.
      Remove from refrigerator and let stand for 30
   minutes.
      Cover tightly with foil and bake in preheated 350
   degree oven for 30 minutes. Uncover, drain and discard
   liquid from chicken, and keep warm.
      Heat apricot preserves and brush over chicken.
   Bake, uncovered, 20-30 minutes longer, basting with
   preserves another 2 times. Remove to serving platter
   and sprinkle with toasted pecans.
   
   Serving Ideas : Serve over rice.
   
   NOTES: Requires eight hours or more to marinate before
   baking.
