Preparation

  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.

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.
