Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons salted butter
1 teaspoon chopped fresh garlic
4 (4 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 teaspoon salt
ground black pepper to taste
4 tablespoons brown sugar
¾ cup water
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in garlic and cook until slightly brown, about 2 minutes. Add chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 12 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Sprinkle brown sugar over chicken and cook until melted into the chicken, about 5 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate and keep warm.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality garlic powder. Freshly ground garlic powder will give your chicken the best flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will not cook evenly and will be more likely to stick.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from burning.
  • Baste the chicken frequently with the garlic brown sugar sauce. This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the chicken immediately. Once the chicken is cooked through, serve it immediately so that it can be enjoyed hot.

Conclusion:

Garlic brown sugar chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is cooked in a flavorful garlic brown sugar sauce that is sure to please everyone at the table.
