Garlic Chicken



served with a side of Tamari mushrooms and broccoli
(this piece of chicken would be considered
2 servings of protein for P10)



This dish is a kid and picky person pleaser. 

I found this on one of y'alls Pinterest boards - or maybe it was my niece's....not sure but this recipe from Food.com turned out much better than I expected.  It had mixed reviews but I can tell you that it turned out great and was a big hit with the family.

The chicken is kind of sweet so you'll want to pair this with something salty as a side dish, like Roasted Veggies or Tamari Green Beans.

If you want to add a dash of saltiness to the chicken, then hit it with a splash of tamari but only if you don't already have some in your side dish lest you become redundant and repetitious. 

By the way, the temp on this recipe is NOT a typo.  Seriously.  Yeah, it freaked me out too but I kept an eye on it and it turned out great. 

Garlic Chicken

makes 4 servings

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts or boneless pork chops

4 garlic cloves, minced

4 tablespoons coconut or palm sugar

3 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil

(soy sauce/tamari)

Preheat oven to 500°F and line a 9x9 baking dish with foil.

In small sauté pan, sauté garlic with the oil until tender.

Remove from heat and stir in brown sugar.

Place chicken breasts in a prepared baking dish lined with foil and cover with the garlic and brown sugar mixture.

Bake uncovered for 20 minutes. 



I used three breasts and my cast iron pan to cook these on
the stove and then transfer to the oven
