Ingredients
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1/4 cup brown sugar

– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Creating Garlic Brown Sugar Chicken Breast is a straightforward process. Follow these simple steps to make this incredible dish:
1. Prep the Chicken: Start by patting the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. This will help the glaze adhere better.
2. Make the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, black pepper, and salt until well combined.
3. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a deeper flavor.
4. Heat the Pan: Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
5. Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Place the chicken breasts in the hot skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
6. Glaze the Chicken: Pour the remaining marinade into the pan during the last few minutes of cooking, allowing it to bubble and thicken, coating the chicken in a delicious glaze.
7. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist.
8. Garnish and Serve: Slice the chicken and drizzle any remaining glaze over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh finish.
