Garlic Brown Sugar Chicken
Ingredients:
- 2-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 teaspoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C). Lightly grease a casserole dish. You can make cleanup easier by lining the dish with foil and spraying it with cooking spray.
- Prepare Garlic Mixture:
- In a small sauté pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic in the oil until it becomes tender and fragrant.
- Add Brown Sugar:
- Remove the sauté pan from heat and stir in brown sugar, ensuring it combines well with the garlic mixture. This creates a sweet and savory sauce.
- Arrange Chicken in Baking Dish:
- Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Arrange them in a single layer for even cooking.
- Coat Chicken with Garlic Mixture:
- Pour the garlic and brown sugar mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated. You can use a brush or spoon to spread the mixture if needed.
- Season with Salt and Pepper:
- Add salt and pepper to taste over the chicken breasts. Adjust the seasoning based on your preference.
- Bake Uncovered:
- Bake the chicken uncovered in the preheated oven for 15-30 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked. Cooking time may vary based on the thickness of the chicken breasts. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Check for Doneness:
- Ensure the chicken is cooked through by cutting into the thickest part and making sure the juices run clear. The chicken should be white and no longer pink.
- Serve Warm:
- Once done, remove the chicken from the oven. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Optional Garnish:
- Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions for a fresh touch before serving.
- Enjoy:
- Serve the Garlic Brown Sugar Chicken with your favorite side dishes like rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
- Note:
- Keep an eye on the chicken during baking to prevent overcooking. Adjust the cooking time based on the size and thickness of the chicken breasts.
