Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 packet Italian dressing mix (0.7 oz)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the brown sugar and the Italian dressing mix thoroughly.
  3. Take the chicken breasts and place them in a baking dish. Coat them generously with the brown sugar mixture, ensuring they are well-covered.
Cooking
  1. Bake your chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
  2. Once cooked, allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

This chicken pairs well with garlicky green beans, fluffy rice, or a fresh garden salad. For enhanced flavor, drizzle with balsamic glaze or sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Consider marinating the chicken for deeper flavor or adding red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
