Apricot-Mustard Chicken Breasts (Ww-Friendly)

With all the variants of apricot chicken that appear on Recipezaar, this one doesn't seem to have been posted yet ... I got this from "Your Family Will Love It!", put out by Prevention magazine some time in the mid-1990s. It's my go-to recipe when my oven isn't free (and we don't have access to a grill). Couldn't be easier, and I always have the ingredients in the house. One 4-ounce portion is 4 WW points.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1  lb boneless skinless chicken breast
• 1⁄4 cup Dijon mustard (I use a homemade Dijon that is VERY spicy)
• 3  tablespoons  apricot preserves
• 1  tablespoon soy sauce (reduced-sodium)
• 1  tablespoon scallion, finely chopped
• 2⁄3 cup water

Directions

1. In a large no-stick skillet, combine the water, mustard, preserves, soy sauce, and scallions. Mix thoroughly.
2. Add chicken. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium or medium-low. Gently simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
3. If the sauce becomes too thick while cooking, just add a few more tablespoons of water.
