Servings 3 Chicken Breasts

Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 Large Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts Rinsed and trimmed
  • ½ Cup Light Brown Sugar Firmly packed; increase to 3/4 Cup if you prefer sweeter taste
  • 2 Tablespoons minced garlic Fresh or in the jar
  • ½ + ¼ teaspoon Salt 1/2 tsp for the potatoes and 1/4 tsp for the chicken
  • ¼ + ¼ teaspoon Freshly Ground Pepper 1/4 tsp for potatoes & 1/4 tsp for chicken
  • 8-10 Medium Yukon Potatoes Cut into bite-size pieces
  • 2 + 1 Tablespoons Canola Oil 2 T for potatoes & 1 T for chicken

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Gather the ingredients.
  • In a large bowl, combine the Potatoes, 1/2 teaspoon Salt, 1/4 teaspoon Pepper and 2 Tablespoons Oil. Toss to coat well. Spread into a 9" x 13" deep baking dish.
  • Using the same large bowl, combine the Brown Sugar, Garlic, 1/4 teaspoon Salt, 1/4 teaspoon Pepper and 1 Tablespoon Oil. Mix well.
  • Add the Chicken to the Brown Sugar mix, turning to coat well (I kind of mush the chicken around a little). Place Chicken on top of the potatoes in pan. If you have any leftover Brown Sugar mix, spread it amongst the chicken breasts in the pan.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, turning Chicken over halfway through.
  • Be sure to drizzle some of the savory juices over the Chicken and Potatoes before serving. Serve with your favorite veggie and enjoy! 🙂
