🥘 Ingredients

10 items

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.5 cups brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoons paprika
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. In a small bowl, mix salt, black pepper, and paprika. Rub this seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.

3. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

4. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add butter and let it melt. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

5. Add brown sugar and soy sauce to the skillet. Stir until the brown sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture begins to bubble lightly.

6. Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the glaze over the top of the chicken.

7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).

8. Carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Spoon additional glaze from the skillet over the chicken for extra flavor.

9. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately with rice or vegetables.
