Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon soy sauce (optional, for extra depth of flavor)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, brown sugar, paprika, salt, pepper, and soy sauce.
Place the chicken in the prepared baking dish and spread the garlic-brown sugar mixture evenly over each piece.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
For a deeper caramelized finish, broil for an additional 2–3 minutes at the end of cooking.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
