Fastest easy dinner ever!


My husband works. So do I. So planning and making fancy meals is difficult when there's just not enough time. The fastest way I've found to make dinner quickly is to use the BBQ grill. I make marinades for chicken and they soak overnight. Then I ask my hubby to take 15 min & grill.

So what if he's super busy and can't grill? I've found a treasure. An easy, quick chicken recipe!
I got the idea from pinterest which led me to this site:

But of course, with all things, I made it my own. My very own. So here's what I did:

Chicken

Ingredients:

4 chicken breast halves. Boneless, skinless. 
6 TB butter
8 TB brown sugar
4 cloves garlic, minced or smashed

Directions:

Heat oven to 500 degrees.
Butter a small 8x8 dish.
SauteƩ garlic in butter until garlic is tender.
Remove from heat.
Add brown sugar. Stir until combined.
Place chicken in pan.
Pour sugar mixture over chicken. Cover thoroughly.
Bake in oven for 10 minutes.
Reduce heat to 450 degrees.
Turn chicken over.
Bake 10 more minutes. Adjust time to elevation and preference.

Rice

Ingredients:

1 C water
1 C coconut milk
1 TB coconut oil
1 C uncooked jasmine rice

Directions:

Combine all ingredients in a pot.
Bring to a boil. Boil 20 minutes.
Remove form heat and let sit for 5-10 minutes.
Fluff with fork or stir with spoon.

Arrange on plate with veggies of your choice. I like to pile the chicken over the rice. Celery goes well with this dish. Seriously, it took me about 25 minutes. Wonders. Next time I'll try and make it a little spicy.!
