Brown Sugar Glazed Chicken

Author: Laura Bais
In this recipe, I used chicken breasts, but you can also use other cuts of chicken meat. For example, you can use chicken tights and make yourself brown sugar glazed chicken tights.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pieces Chicken Breasts
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1,5 cup Chicken Broth
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 1 tbsp Flour
  • 1/4 cup Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • Salt, pepper, Cayenne pepper to taste.
  • Olive oil for frying the chicken breasts and sautéing the garlic.

Instructions
 

  • Season the chicken breasts using salt, pepper, Cayenne pepper and smoked paprika. Do this preferably the day before, but it will be good even if you do it right before baking.
  • Prepare a grill pan or something similar and warm 1-2 tbsp of oil in it. Fry the chicken in the pan for two minutes on each side, then set it aside.

  • Saute for a few minutes grated garlic in the same oil where you were baking the chicken breasts.
  • In one bowl, mix half of the chicken broth and soy sauce.
  • In another bowl, mix the rest of the chicken broth with flour.
  • Chicken broth and soy sauce mixture pour over garlic and wait until it's warm. Now add brown sugar.
  • When it starts to boil, add flour and broth mixture and cook for a few minutes while constantly stirring. It should thicken a little bit.
  • After a few minutes of cooking, turn off the heat and pour the mixture over the chicken breasts. Place inside some vegetables if you want.
  • Bake the dish like that at 400 °F for 35 minutes.
  • When it's done, wait for a few minutes before serving and slicing it. This way, you will make sure that chicken breasts will stay juicy.
