Description

Sweet brown sugar and flavorful garlic combine to create a delicious sauce for these easy baked chicken breasts your family will love.

Ingredients

1 serving cooking spray
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/2 cup brown sugar
4 bone-in chicken breast halves
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking dish with aluminum foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.
2 Combine oil and garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat; saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat, add brown sugar, and stir until liquid, about 3 minutes.
3 Lay chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and pour brown sugar sauce over top. Sprinkle with black pepper.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
