3-Ingredient Sweet Italian Chicken
This quick and flavorful chicken dish combines sweetness and savory herbs for a perfect weeknight dinner! Ready in just 30 minutes, its a crowd-pleaser!
Ingredients:
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 4 to 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 0.7-oz packet Italian dressing mix
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 425ºF 220ºC for optimal baking conditions.
2. Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
3. In a medium bowl, mix together the brown sugar and the Italian dressing mix until combined.
4. Take each chicken breast and coat both sides thoroughly with the brown sugar mixture, ensuring every bite will be deliciously sweet and herbaceous.
5. Arrange the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking pan, placing them side by side.
6. Sprinkle any remaining brown sugar mixture evenly over the top of the chicken for added flavor during cooking.
7. Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
8. For the final touch, turn on the broiler to HIGH and broil the chicken for 1 to 2 minutes. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning, as the sugar will caramelize quickly.
9. Remove from the oven, let rest for a few minutes, and then enjoy your tasty Sweet Italian Chicken!
