Instructions
Creating Garlic Brown Sugar Chicken Breast is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a nice sear.
3. Season the Chicken: In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, and paprika. Rub this mixture all over the chicken breasts for added flavor.
4. Sauté Garlic: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Do not let it burn.
5. Add Brown Sugar Mixture: Stir in the brown sugar, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Mix until the brown sugar has dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
6. Coat the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts into the skillet, coating them evenly with the garlic brown sugar mixture.
7. Transfer to Baking Dish: Move the chicken breasts to a baking dish, pouring any remaining sauce over them.
8. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
9. Rest the Chicken: Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This helps retain its juices.
10. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the chicken for a pop of color and extra flavor before serving.
By following these straightforward steps, you’re guaranteed to create a delicious Garlic Brown Sugar Chicken Breast that will wow everyone at the table!
