Garlic Glazed Chicken

Janelle from Comfy in the Kitchen is here today with the perfect family dinner.  Just add baked beans and cucumber salad and you are all set!

Janelle writes: My mom forwarded me this recipe and my, oh, my is it a keeper! As you know, I’m a huge fan of sweet and savory dishes- this one is no exception! Enjoy!

Chop fresh garlic – it’s gotta be fresh for this recipe {I know, I know- I don’t like the smell of it on my hands for days either…. but it’s worth it for this one}.

In a small/medium pan add olive oil and sauté garlic on medium heat until tender. Be very careful with your stovetop setting-garlic can burn quickly!

Add brown sugar to the olive oil and garlic- stir until it makes a paste.

Place thawed chicken breasts in a 9×13 pan, cover with paste and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake uncovered at 400 for approximately 20 mins. I placed mine on a cookie sheet, but when I make this again, I’ll use a 9×13.

*I am a huge fan of smaller, organic chicken breasts. If your chicken is larger than shown below, make sure to pound it. This will help it cook evenly!

Mmmmmm…..You’re going to love this one! Thanks Mom!
