Ingredients
  

Key Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (ensure it’s halal certified)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • as needed chopped green onions for garnish

Preparation

Create the Marinade

Marinate
  1. Place the chicken in a baking dish and pour the brown sugar mixture over the top.
Bake
  1. Bake the chicken for 20-25 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C), spooning some sauce over halfway through.
Garnish and Serve

Notes

For substitutions, coconut aminos can replace soy sauce for gluten-free options, and chicken thighs can be used for juiciness. Ensure to monitor cooking time to avoid burning.
