Equipment

  • Baking Dish
  • Small Pan

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Glaze Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 3 teaspoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F and spray a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a small pan over medium heat, add olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant and tender.
  • Remove from heat and stir in brown sugar to form a glaze.
  • Place chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and spread the garlic brown sugar glaze evenly over the top.
  • Bake uncovered for 30–45 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a splash of soy sauce or red pepper flakes to the glaze. This recipe works well with boneless chicken thighs too. Serve with mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the delicious sauce.
