  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 packet Italian Dressing Mix 0.7-oz packet

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  2. In a bowl, combine the brown sugar and Italian dressing mix. Mix well.
  3. Coat both sides of each chicken breast with the brown sugar mixture.
  4. Place the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle any remaining brown sugar mixture on top of the chicken.
Cooking
  1. Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until cooked through.
  2. To finish, turn the broiler on HIGH. Broil the chicken for 1 to 2 minutes until the brown sugar caramelizes. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning!
