Instructions:

  1. Marinate the Chicken:
    • The marinade should be made in a sizable mixing bowl by combining the minced garlic, brown sugar, olive oil, soy sauce, dried thyme, dried rosemary, black pepper, and salt.
  2. Coat the Chicken:
    • As you add the chicken breasts to the marinade, make sure to coat them completely. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to permeate the chicken. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
  3. Preheat the Oven:
    • Set your oven’s temperature to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC). A baking dish that can accommodate the chicken in a single layer should be greased.
  4. Cook the Chicken:
    • Take the marinated chicken out of the bowl and put it in the baking dish that has been greased.
    • Any leftover marinade should be poured over the chicken.
    • For roughly 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165ยฐF (74ยฐC), bake the garlic brown sugar chicken in the preheated oven.
  5. Baste the Chicken (optional):
    • If desired, baste the chicken with the drippings from the baking dish once or twice during the baking process to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
  6. Garnish and Serve:
    • Remove the chicken from the oven once it has finished cooking.
    • For a splash of color and freshness, garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
  7. Enjoy the Flavorful Dish:
