Garlic Brown Sugar Chicken

It's been a busy week for me! I've tried a few new recipes for dinner and have been waiting to see how they all turned out before I chose one to write about. And it was not hard to choose a winner! This Garlic Brown Sugar Chicken recipe I made last night was sooooooo good. It had so much flavor to it; it could even be my most favorite chicken recipe EVER. You should definitely try it!

But before I give you the recipe, I'll at least tell you about the other 2 recipes I tried out in case you want to give them a try too.

Monday night we had Beer Battered Tilapia
I don't really like fish, but I thought it was pretty good. We ate it with some tarter sauce, brown rice, and a vegetable.

Tuesday night we had Almond Chicken with Rice
This was also a good recipe, but I thought there could've been more flavor. I got this recipe from sparkrecipes.com, so it's healthy at least! Also, I accidentally bought cashews instead of almonds, so that might've changed the taste a little, but I don't think that would've affected it too much.

And lastly, last night we had Garlic Brown Sugar Chicken
This was also from sparkrecipes.com, so it's another healthy one! If you click on the link, it'll take you to the website so you can see the nutrition info.

And this was definitely good! I don't have any pictures because we were so hungry and ate it right away, haha. But I plan on making this again next week, so I'll try to remember to take one then.

Ingredients
Brown sugar, 4 tsp. unpacked
3-4 Chicken breasts, no skin (I made 3)
Garlic, 1 clove (I used minced garlic, like I use for everything that calls for garlic)
Butter, salted, 2 tbsp. (I just used 2 tbsp. of "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" because that's what I had)
Salt, 1 tsp.
Dash of pepper

Directions
1. Melt butter in a frying pan
2. Brown the garlic in the butter
3. Add chicken breasts to garlic and butter and cook thoroughly, adding salt and pepper as you like
4. When chicken is fully cooked, add brown sugar on top of each chicken breast
5. Allow the brown sugar to melt into the chicken (about 5 minutes)

I just can't believe how much flavor was in the chicken! And it was so easy to make. Try it!
