These easy brown sugar and garlic chicken breasts couldn't be easier to make. Always a hit and with just 5 ingredients everyone has on hand, they are an easy dinner.
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Arrange the chicken breasts in a prepared glass baking dish. Season with salt and pepper (adjust if your spices contain salt and pepper.)
Step 2
Heat the oil in a small saute pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and tender. Remove from heat and add to a small bowl. Alternatively you can microwave the garlic and oil for 2 minutes to soften the garlic.
Step 3
Stir in the brown sugar and any spices you are using. Consider adding dried herbs, grill seasoning, or enjoy this simple sweet and garlicky version.
Step 5
Bake the chicken for 25-35 minutes until cooked through. The exact cooking time will vary based on the size of the chicken. Turn up the oven to broil. Broil for 3-5 minutes until sugar caramelizes on top. Serve with fresh squeezed lemon.
