Garlic-Brown Sugar Chicken Breasts

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking dish with aluminum foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.

Combine oil and garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat; saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat, add brown sugar, and stir until liquid, about 3 minutes.

Lay chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and pour brown sugar sauce over top. Sprinkle with black pepper.

Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
