BROWN SUGAR ITALIAN CHICKEN - JUST 3 INGREDIENTS

Ingredients

  • 4 (6-7 oz. each) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 packet Good Seasons Italian dressing – dry mix only
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Mashed potatoes for serving, optional
  • Canned green beans for serving, optional

Instructions

Prep

  • Line a 9×13 baking dish with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
  • Place chicken breast in between two pieces of wax paper and lightly pound chicken with a mallet until thickness of chicken breast is even for even cooking.
  • In a shallow dish mix together brown sugar and the dry Good Seasons Italian dressing mix.
  • Dip both sides of chicken breast in brown sugar mixture and place in prepared baking dish.
  • Once all the chicken is covered, sprinkle remaining brown sugar mixture on top.
  • Cover baking dish and refrigerate until ready to bake.
  • This can be made the night before or in the morning. This doesn’t need to be prepped ahead if you don’t want to.

TO MAKE

  • Preheat oven 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Bake chicken uncovered for 20-25 minutes until chicken is cooked thoroughly and internal temperature of chicken is 165 degrees.
  • Optional – Remove chicken, increase oven temp to broil then pop chicken under the broiler for a couple of minutes to caramelize the chicken.
  • Let chicken rest for 5-7 minutes.

TO SERVE

  • Season chicken with salt and pepper and drizzle brown sugar mixture on top of chicken.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes and green beans if desired.

Notes

I place cut green beans in a microwave safe dish to cook. Once done I like to toss them with Kinders Buttery Garlic Salt before serving. It’s so good!
