Brown Sugar Chicken
As I truly enjoy cooking, I’m usually the one making dinner in our house, but sometimes John volunteers to take a turn and I thank him effusively. This is one of his recipes and it’s a family favorite.
Brown Sugar Chicken comes together quickly and hits all the notes of a sweet-savory dish. While it cooks, the brown sugar caramelizes on the chicken, creating a delicate sauce enhanced with garlic for exceptional flavor.
