Brown Sugar Chicken

Brown Sugar Chicken

• 1 c. brown sugar
• 2 T. dijon mustard
• 1 large (or 2 small) clove garlic, finely minced
• 1 t. salt
• 1 t. paprika
• 1/2 t. black pepper
• 1/4 t. crushed red pepper flakes
• About 1/2 – 1 c. lemon-lime soda (ie. Sprite, 7Up, etc.)
• 1 1/2 – 2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1. Combine brown sugar, mustard and seasonings in a bowl and mix well. Stir in soda just until mixture is the consistency of a thick dressing.

2. Place chicken in a dish or plastic ziploc bag and pour marinade on top. Let chicken sit in marinade at least 30 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes, until fully cooked. Or, grill the chicken until fully cooked.

3. If desired, pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Spoon over cooked chicken.
