Recipe Wednesday: Brown Sugar Chicken

This chicken recipe is sweet, but has just enough kick not to be overly sweet. My three year old son, who doesn't like much chicken at all, even says it's "Mmm! Good-licious!" when dipped in ranch dressing. So it's quite possibly a kid friendly recipe for those of you with picky eaters!

BROWN SUGAR CHICKEN

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

4 tbsp brown sugar

2 tbsp paprika

3 tsp onion powder

1 tsp salt

2 tsp chili powder

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F and lightly spray glass baking dish with cooking spray (or grease the baking dish with coconut oil).

Well mixed dry ingredients

2. Add dry ingredients to Ziploc® bag and shake to mix well. Add chicken and shake to coat chicken.

Optional: sprinkle the excess brown sugar mix on the chicken after coating the chicken

3. Bake uncovered for 15-25 minutes, or until juices run clear and internal temperature is 165°F.

I had to cut into the chicken to make sure it was fully cooked because my meat thermometer wasn't working properly

Enjoy!
