You could also broil or grill the chicken, adding the glaze when the chicken is cooked about half-way. Use whatever seasoning you prefer. To keep things simple, you could just season the breasts with salt and pepper before putting them in the oven. I love the McCormick Smokehouse Maple Grill Mates. I think Zesty Lemon Pepper Seasoning or McCormick Montreal Steak Seasoning would be tasty too.
