Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 4 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cloves minced garlic (or 3T minced garlic from a jar)
- 4 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Additional herbs and spices as desired (we added rosemary, herbs de provence, and a little thyme)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Spray a baking pan or cookie sheet with cooking spray.
- In a small saute pan, saute garlic in oil on medium heat until tender.
- Remove from heat and stir in brown sugar. Add additional herbs and spices as desired.
- Season chicken with salt & pepper. Place chicken in pan and cover with garlic mixture. (Note: we poked the chicken a few times with a fork so the sauce would get down inside it.)
- Bake uncovered for 15-30 minutes, depending on thickness, until juices run clear. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
The chicken breasts we used were HUGE. We cut them in 1/2 - 1/3 pieces, so they were more like large chunks. It ended up being the perfect portion size!
