Garlic Brown Sugar Chicken

Getting ready for finals week has been hectic, and though I have been able to try out some great new recipes I haven't had any time to write about them.. So sorry about the backlog. 

I pinned this recipe from Daydream Kitchen a long time ago, but I found it and tried it the other night. It was awesome. I went from two pieces of frozen chicken breast to a delicious meal in less than an hour. One of my biggest problems with cooking dinner is that I usually never actually know where I'm going to be that night or when I will get home. Even on nights I plan on being home to make something for dinner, I usually forget to take the ingredients (usually chicken) out of the freezer. Luckily, I have found an excellent solution to this predicament. First of all, when I buy a pack of chicken, I pound out the breasts so they are a little bit thinner, then I wrap them in plastic wrap and put them in a freezer bag to protect from the frigid air. This makes it so I can take one or two pieces at a time without having to defrost the whole lot. The trick to defrosting them isn't really much of a trick, but if you fill a bowl with hot water and submerge the chicken breast for twenty minutes, switching the water halfway through, the chicken with be defrosted. Then you can try out any chicken recipe, like my George Foreman Lemon-Garlic Chicken or the BBQ George Foreman Recipe that I am hoping to post in the next few days.  But if you don't have a George Foreman, this Garlic Brown Sugar Chicken recipe is sure to please

According to the original recipe:

�A quick, easy chicken recipe for days when you don�t want to spend time in the kitchen. Even finicky people will eat it. Goes great with traditional potatoes or rice.�

Ingredients

    • 2-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts 
    • 4 garlic cloves, minced
    • 4 tablespoons brown sugar
    • 3 teaspoons olive oil

Directions


Preheat oven to 500�F and lightly grease a casserole dish. I placed a layer of tinfoil down first then sprayed it with cooking spray which helped a lot when it came time to clean up.

In small saut� pan, saut� garlic with the oil until tender.  Remove from heat and stir in brown sugar.
Place chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and cover with the garlic and brown sugar mixture.

Add salt and pepper to taste.

Bake uncovered for 15-30 minutes.

CHOCOLATE MARBLE QUICK BREAD RECIPE

Image
Serve this fresh homemade Chocolate Marble Quick Bread that was a breeze to make using a whisk. Quick bread eliminates multiple steps, kneading and waiting for dough to rise. With minimal efforts, we are rewarded with a gorgeous loaf/ Have reduced the sugar a bit since I intend to ice the cake later. Am so glad that this Chocolate Marble Quick Bread turned out just right, the way I want it. You can sub yogurt with sour cream if you have but this MUNDELLA Premium Natural Yogurt I used did a great job. It is a perfect tea companion and swirls of vanilla and chocolate batter produce impressively beautiful treat. Over the years, I have shared some quick bread recipes, here are a few that you might be interested: Vegan Homemade Doughnuts Irish Barmbrack Fantastic Apricot Bread

CLASSIC BREAD PUDDING

Image
This Classic Bread Pudding is an easy dessert using a stale bread soaked in a milky egg mixture. I used to make it using my white sandwich bread, crust removed then cubed, but today I made this Classic Bread Pudding with multi grain bread, cut the slice into half length wise. Also baked this pudding in my 9 x 11 in baking pan instead of the heavy glass dish. It does not matter what utensil you choose, it still turns out great. The advantage of using a glass dish is that it can go from oven straight to dining table. It can be customize to your liking by adding cinnamon, nutmeg or lemon zest. If you are a chocolate lover, add a cup of chopped bittersweet chocolate or add in fruits like banana (2), blueberry, strawberry, raspberry (2 cup) or dried fruit (1 cup) just before baking. This simple Classic Bread Pudding came out beautiful and and taste exactly the same I enjoyed as a child.
