Wright's Apricot Chicken

I got this recipe from my mother in law Janet, who uses her own homemade apricot jam, which makes this amazing!

1 cup apricot jam
1/3 cup orange juice concentrate
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup brown sugar

4 chicken breasts
white rice

Combine jam, orange juice, soy sauce and brown sugar in a bowl. Pour over chicken breasts in a baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until chicken is well done. Serve with rice. Also great on the barbeque!
