Description

Sweet, savory, and ready in under 30 minutes, this Brown Sugar Garlic Chicken brings comforting flavor with pantry staples.


Ingredients

Scale

34 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Olive oil (for brushing)

Salt and black pepper (to taste)

¼ cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon water

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried thyme

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper


Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F and spray a baking dish with non-stick spray.

2. Brush chicken breasts with olive oil on both sides.

3. Season generously with salt and pepper.

4. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, water, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper.

5. Place chicken into the baking dish.

6. Pour the sauce evenly over each piece.

7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until internal temp reaches 165°F.

8. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes.

Letting the chicken rest makes it juicier.

This sweet garlic glaze also pairs well with rice or pasta.

Leftovers reheat well in the microwave or oven.
