Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and paprika on both sides.
- Cook Garlic: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

- Serve: Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
