PEPPERED SWEET GARLIC
CHICKEN
This recipe will please most people and the awesome part about it is
that it is so very easy and quick to prepare as well. Lovely with cauli-mash
and veggies on the side or a fabulous cheesy cauliflower and broccoli
casserole, which is what I served it with, in addition to some lovely slices of
avocado. Great meal! The dark color of the sauce is from the organic molasses that I used...only a little and as you can see the carbs are very low.
5 large chicken breasts
(if you have
4 – that’s fine)
11/4 tsp
salt (6 mL)
1
tsp black pepper (5 mL)
1/4 cup
olive oil (60 mL)
2
tbsp bottled garlic (30 mL)
1/3 cup
powdered sweetener (75 mL)
2
tsp molasses (10 mL)
2
tsp dried parsley (10 mL)
Preheat
the oven to 450°F (220°C). Line a sheet
pan with foil.
Remove
any bits of bone from the chicken breasts.
In small bowl, combine salt and black pepper. Sprinkle over both sides of chicken breasts
and place on prepared sheet pan.
In
nonstick frying pan, over medium heat, add olive oil and garlic. Cook until garlic starts turning light
brown. Add powdered sweetener, molasses and
parsley. Stir until sweetener dissolves. Brush the mixture over the
top of the chicken breasts. Bake chicken
20 to 25 minutes. Check after 20 minutes
and bake a few minutes more, if necessary. (The chicken should be white throughout
in the center of the thickest chicken breast).
Allow to sit 5 minutes and serve.
