Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup flour
  • salt and pepper
  • 4-5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 3 lbs)
  • 2-3 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pour the flour into a large ziptop bag.  Season with salt and pepper.  Add the chicken and toss to coat the chicken in the flour.
  2. Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Add 1-2 tablespoons of the oil.  Brown the chicken in the pan, working in batches, if needed, and adding more oil if needed.  Place the chicken in a  9x13-inch baking dish.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350F.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, water, ketchup, mustard, onion, Worcestershire and salt.  Stir to combine.  Pour the mixture over the chicken.
  5. Bake until the chicken is cooked through, 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes, depending on the thickness of your chicken.  Baste the chicken with the sauce every 20 to 30 minutes.  Serve with rice, if desired.
