My father-in-law requested this every Father’s Day for 40 years. Three ingredients and it still beats anything from a restaurant.
This Oven Baked 3-Ingredient Chicken Bellhaven turns simple boneless, skinless chicken breasts into a sticky, sweet, and savory main dish. Coated in a mix of sweet apricot preserves and dry onion soup mix, the chicken bakes until golden and caramelized, creating a rich pan glaze to spoon over every serving.

Oven Baked 3-Ingredient Chicken Bellhaven
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
| Boneless, skinless chicken breasts | 4 |
| Apricot preserves | 1 cup |
| Dry onion soup mix | 1 packet |
Step-By-Step Directions:
-
Preheat and prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a rectangular glass baking dish. Arrange the chicken breasts in a single layer in the dish.
-
Mix glaze: In a small bowl, stir together the apricot preserves and dry onion soup mix until evenly combined.
-
Coat chicken: Spoon the glaze mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, using the back of a spoon to spread it across the top of each piece until fully coated.
-
Bake: Bake uncovered for 35 to 45 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F / 74°C) and the glaze is bubbling and nicely caramelized.
-
Rest and serve: Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes. Spoon the warm pan glaze over the chicken pieces before serving warm.
