  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approximately 6 ounces each)

½ cup packed brown sugar

1 cup Italian dressing.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and Italian dressing until the sugar is dissolved.
  4. Pour the mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully coated.
  5. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  6. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the sauce caramelizes.
  7. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then spoon some sauce over the top before serving.

Notes

  1. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked perfectly.
  2. For a more caramelized glaze, broil the chicken for 2-3 minutes after baking.
  3. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  4. Reheat in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for the best results.
