Garlic and Brown Sugar, say what?

Garlic.
Brown Sugar.
Olive Oil.
Chicken Breasts.



Do you have ANY of this in your kitchen? I was 3 for 4.
So on Saturday I picked up two chicken breasts so I could make this...

Mondays are gym days.
Typically, I get home from work, make a quick dinner - and by make, I mean heat, and rush out the door before 6ish to earn the sexy.

Tonight, I took on a new challenge. Cook a real, legit dinner and get out the door by 6:30.

I threw the garlic and oil in a pan, and things started simmering and smelling SO good.
I mean, who doesn't love garlic!?


They started browning up and getting caramelized.
Oh, so so yummy already.
And THEN the recipe told me to throw in some brown sugar.
That isn't gonna be a problem.



I stirred it all together into a garlicky, sugary crumble.
Spread it over the chicken breasts (which I had sliced in half to make four servings).
Popped it in the oven, and baked for about 15-17 minutes.



I changed into my gym clothes, heated up a baked sweet potato, poured a glass of water, and next thing I knew, dinner was ready.


It was baked, and cooked, and in my belly by 5:59pm.
This is a recipe I can get behind.


Also, are you wondering why I eat dinner in the 5 o'clock hour?
It's the granny in me.
She is trying to get out.
Geriatric dinner time.
Geriatric bed time.
Exceptional amount of cardigans.
When people tell me to act my age, it isn't necessarily because I'm being immature. 

Linking up with Jessica!
Linky party is open all month, have you been PinterTesting?!?

  1. The headline made my mouth water straight away, I love sweet, garlicky concoctions! And I also often eat dinner at around 5, because that is when I return home from work, usually feeling famished!
