Ingredients:  
4 (6oz.) skinless boneless chicken breast halves
5/8 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/3 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup apricot preserves
1 1/2 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tbsp. whole grain mustard
1 tbsp. butter
Directions:
Directions:
Put oven rack in lower third of oven and preheat oven to 400ºF. Lightly oil a 13-by 9-inch flameproof baking dish (not glass).

Pat chicken dry and sprinkle all over with 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper total, then arrange at least 1/4 inch apart in baking dish. Bake 10 minutes.

While chicken bakes, toast almonds in a small baking pan in oven, stirring twice, until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cook apricot preserves, soy sauce, mustard, butter, and remaining 1/8 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp pepper in a small saucepan over moderate heat, stirring, until preserves are melted. Pour sauce over chicken and continue to bake until chicken is just cooked through, about 10 minutes more.

Turn on broiler and broil chicken 4 to 5 inches from heat, basting once, until chicken is glazed and browned in spots, about 3 minutes.

Serve sprinkled with almonds.

Personal Notes:
The air-chilled or Smart chicken (if you can find it) is nice in this recipe - very moist. This is what Rob calls "Super chicken".
