Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken fillets
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 3 teaspoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the Oven Start by preheating your oven to 500F. During this time, lightly grease a casserole dish and set it aside.
  2. Step 2: Sauté the Garlic In a small sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until tender, ensuring it does not brown too much to avoid bitterness.
  3. Step 3: Prepare the Garlic Mixture Once the garlic is sautéed, remove the pan from heat and stir in the brown sugar until well combined. This creates a sweet and savory mixture that will be used to coat the chicken.
  4. Step 4: Arrange the Chicken Place the chicken fillets in the prepared baking dish. Spread the garlic and brown sugar mixture generously over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.
  5. Step 5: Season and Bake Season the chicken fillets with salt and pepper according to your taste preference. Bake the chicken in the preheated oven, uncovered, for 15-30 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and has a golden exterior.
