Description

This Brown Sugar Garlic Chicken recipe features tender boneless skinless chicken breasts baked to perfection with a sweet and savory brown sugar garlic sauce infused with thyme and spices. It's an easy, flavorful dish that comes together quickly and is perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 3-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper, to season the chicken

Sauce

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp water
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Chicken: Preheat your oven to 400°F and lightly spray a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Season both sides of the chicken breasts evenly with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
  2. Make the Brown Sugar Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, water, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and ground black pepper until well combined. This will create a sweet and savory glaze for the chicken.
  3. Arrange Chicken and Add Sauce: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish in a single layer. Pour the brown sugar sauce evenly over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated.
  4. Bake the Chicken: Put the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F when checked with a meat thermometer.
  5. Serve: Remove the dish from the oven and transfer the chicken to serving plates. Drizzle the flavorful liquid from the baking dish over the chicken. This extra sauce also pairs wonderfully over pasta or rice for extra enjoyment.

Notes

  • Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safe consumption.
  • For even cooking, try to use chicken breasts of similar size and thickness.
  • This sauce can be used as a glaze or a topping for other dishes like roasted vegetables or grilled meats.
  • If desired, fresh thyme can be substituted for dried thyme at a proportion of 3 tsp fresh per 1 tsp dried.
  • To make the dish gluten free, verify that your brown sugar and spices have no cross-contamination.
