Baking Day – Easy Garlic Chicken

I only cook on Sundays.

That’s usually the only day I have time to do anything in the kitchen other than throw something in the oven to heat it up.  I try to cook at least one thing that will last through the week.  I bake muffins, bread, brownies… anything that we can eat through the week.  We have a tiny, tiny kitchen and there’s not a whole lot of room to cook anything.  I try

This week, we had a rare Saturday at home and I tried my hand at another Pinterest recipe that a friend recommended.

I learned a fair amount making this recipe.

First: A garlic that I buy at the store is not, in fact, a clove of garlic.  Good information to know!

Second: YouTube can solve almost any question you have while cooking.  Like how to use that garlic press you got for your wedding.  And what a clove of garlic is.

Overall – solid meal that has been voted into the rotation. We paired it with rice and easily could have eaten more.

Easy Garlic Chicken

Recipe recommended by a friend on Pinterest and found at: http://low-cholesterol.food.com/recipe/easy-garlic-chicken-5478

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 garlic cloves , minced
4 tablespoons brown sugar
3 teaspoons olive oil

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 500°F and lightly grease a casserole dish.
  2. In small sauté pan, sauté garlic with the oil until tender.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in brown sugar.
  4. Place chicken breasts in a prepared baking dish and cover with the garlic and brown sugar mixture.
  5. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Bake uncovered for 15-30 minutes.
  7. My friend recommended that you let the chicken sit to let the sauce soak in.  After cooking it, I can attest to that.

  1. I remember a friend’s brother that didn’t know what a clove of garlic was. He thought a BULB of garlic was the same thing as a CLOVE of garlic…. Needless to say his sauce turned out very different than he anticipated!

  2. That’s exactly what I thought this recipe! I now have 3 extra bulbs of garlic since, clearly, I didn’t need the 4 bulbs I bought. Thank goodness for YouTube showing me different, otherwise this wouldn’t have ended well!
