Caramelized Garlic Chicken

I have been neglecting this blog for awhile...I have been cooking from my cookbook here and there, just not posting what I've been making.  So, I added a few tonight.  I will give you the recipe to this Caramelized Garlic Chicken because it was really simple and tasty!  If there are any other recipes you'd like, leave me a comment.  I'm just not up to typing all the recipes as I don't think anyone really looks at this blog.

Here's the recipe:

3 tsp. olive oil, plus additional for greasing foiled pan
6 cloves garlic, pressed
6 tsps. brown sugar
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves

Heat oven to 500 degrees.  Line shallow roasting pan with foil, lightly grease the foil with a little oil.

Heat oil in small skillet over medium-low heat until hot.  Add garlic and cook 1-2 minutes or until garlic begins to soften (Don't let garlic get brown!)  Remove from heat and stir in brown sugar until well mixed.  Set aside.

Place chicken on greased foil-lined pan, spreading the garlic mixture evenly over chicken.  Bake for 10-15 minutes or until chicken is fork-tender and juices run clear. 

The one thing I did wrong was I put way too much oil on my pan that went in the oven (apparently I skimmed over the words lightly and little......the result; a really smoky kitchen.  OOPS.  But, this chicken tasted really good...almost like I had marinated it over night...but no, I just whipped it up in a half an hour.

Pan Roasted Chicken and Potatoes

I was surprised that this was so easy to make AND all of my kids like it.  This is definitely a keeper!

Mexican Torta

I thought this was a really yummy recipe.  It was pretty time consuming, but really good.

Black and White Checkered Chili

This was a pretty good recipe.  It came together really quickly, but then had to simmer for 30 minutes.  My kids didn't like it...big surprise.

Will I Make it Again?  Maybe.
