Sweet Garlic Chicken

I found this recipe on the internet; of course I couldn’t just leave it the way it was written and I made my own changes. You could make your own changes too, that is what cooking is all about. You could use butter instead of olive oil or leave out the Italian Seasoning. Cook the way you like!

This recipe is easy to half or double, that is why I listed the brown sugar as 4 Tablespoons. It sounds like a lot of sugar but really it is only 1 Tablespoon per chicken breast.

Sweet Garlic Chicken

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts 1 tablespoon olive oil 4 garlic cloves, minced 1/4 cup brown sugar (= 4 Tablespoons) 1 teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon pepper ½ teaspoon Italian Seasoning

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking dish or cookie sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat with cooking spray or lightly brush with oil.

In small sauté pan, sauté garlic with the oil until tender. Remove from heat and stir in brown sugar and spices. Place chicken breasts on the prepared baking dish and spread on the garlic and brown sugar mixture.

Bake uncovered for 20-30 minutes, until a thermometer put into the middle of the chicken reads 165 degrees. Cooking time will depend on the size and thickness of your chicken.
