This Weight Watchers Brown Sugar Garlic Chicken Recipe is a hit with my whole family! Finding meals everyone enjoys can be challenging, but this one is always a winner. Plus, it’s a delicious WW low-point option with good macros for protein as well!
As a mom, I love how easy this is; there is no prep work and the taste is fantastic!!! We have crazy nights with soccer and the kid’s schedule; it is incredible how we get dinner on the table some nights. I must say we will make this again with fried rice! The garlic chicken tastes like Chinese cuisine and would have been good with fried rice!!! The recipe for this I followed came from Food.com.

How To Make Garlic Brown Sugar Chicken:
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
Spray a 9X13 pan or sheet pan with non-stick spray, then cover the 9X13 pan or sheet pan with foil and then nonstick spray the foil.
Now funny story with this I didn’t read through all the comments when I first made this to see the tin foil warning. The brown sugar and the juices burned and ruined my pan completely. Trust me; tinfoil and spray under the tin foil, and sugar can also stick to the foil. See what happened the first time I made this with no foil?
Next, lay your chicken breasts in your baking pan on the sprayed tinfoil.
In a small frying pan, warm up your olive oil and add in the minced garlic on med-high heat.
Once the oil-garlic mixture is warm, add the brown sugar and cook into a thick gooey mixture.
Pour the garlic mixture over the chicken, and use a basting brush to cover the chicken breast completely.
Bake in the oven for about 20-30 minutes until it temps at 160 degrees and is done.
Use a meat thermometer to verify it is 160 degrees for each breast.
Serve with rice or a side salad!!
This chicken is also so good that I eat it just by itself, and the cold chicken is amazing on salads as well!!
