Sweet and Spicy Chicken Breasts

Sweet & Spicy Chicken Breats

4-6 boneless skinless chicken breasts (or more)
1 package of dry italian dressing mix
1 cup brown sugar

Package up the chicken in a freezer bag.  Mix the italian dressing mix and brown sugar in a separate bag.  Label and freeze.

Serving Day:

Thaw chicken in fridge overnight.  Line a 9×13″ baking dish with foil. Place chicken breasts in baking dish. Top with italian dressing mix and brown sugar. Bake at 350* for about 35-45 minutes. Optional: turn on top broil and broil the chicken until the juices in the bottom of the pan start to bubble. This allows the sugars to carmelize and glazes the chicken.

Note:  You can use frozen chicken breasts without thawing them. But I have noticed that you won’t get that carmilization because there is more water in the bottom of the pan. So to solve this, I thaw the breasts in a bowl of cold water. This also helps to wash the glaze off of those quick-frozen breasts. You will have a better final result if you use this method.
