Brown Sugar Italian Chicken

-
Three ingredients?
Quick and easy?
Flavorful and tender?
Yes please!


Ingredients
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 packet of dry Italian dressing seasoning
Chicken breasts

1. Preheat oven to 350°F
2. In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar and Italian seasoning
3. Coat the chicken breasts with the seasoning on all sides before placing them in a greased (or foil lined) baking dish
4. Bake for 15m and flip the chicken over
5. Bake for 10m and flip again
6. Broil (about 5m) until caramelized
7. Serve and enjoy! I paired mine with some white cheddar mac & cheese and a side salad.

Note: Cooking time will vary based on the size of your chicken. The amount of the seasoning you use will vary as well - I made a small portion tonight, so I ended up saving the excess brown sugar + Italian seasoning that wasn't used on the chicken.

Tip: If you think you'll have seasoning leftover, do not put the raw chicken directly into the bowl of spices. That way you can save the leftover! I used a spoon to sprinkle the spices over the chicken.

Garlic Naan

I love chicken tikka masala. For awhile, I loved going to a restaurant and ordering it. Simple, easy, no effort. But I've gotten more adventurous with my cooking and baking over the past few years, and I started making chicken tikka masala at home. And I love it. But I hate using store bought naan, or driving to the Indian food restaurant to buy just  naan and nothing else. So I decided I would make some of my own! I used Budget Bytes Homemade Naan Bread recipe and it turned out amazing! Garlic Naan with Cilantro All my ingredients ready to roll! Dough baby Naan Bubbles!

First Post and a Bread Obsession

Hello and welcome! I'm Kaitlin and this is my first exploration into food blogging. I love  all things cooking and baking, exploring new recipes, and trying new things, and I'm pretty sure my typical Facebook and Instagram followers are going to die if I keep posting food pictures. So here is my new outlet, and I hope you enjoy! A few weeks ago, I decided I would take on the daunting task of bre ad baking. Now I've spent years--YEARS--making banana breads, pumpkin breads, and other yeast-less loaves, but recently I felt the urge to challenge myself and take the plunge into baking "real" bread. I've been trying out different types of breads for the last few weeks and they've all turned out surprisingly well, except for this one. We're giving it a second try today. I've made brioche with buttery success. I've made 6-strand braided challah bread with giant, perfectly risen perfection. I've created a delicious albeit overly salty focacc

Disclaimer: This is a semi-related continuation of yesterday's post . But not really. You can still keep reading even if you have no idea what I'm talking about. I mentioned in the post yesterday that it was my second attempt at the crusty Italian bread, a no-knead loaf that should have been easy as pie. Anything no-knead should be low effort, right? (tip: if you follow directions, it totally is) When I made it for my family I knew it wasn't perfect, but I didn't realize just how  imperfect it was until I looked at my first and second attempt at this recipe side by side. Whoah! Talk about an improvement. That first loaf looks 1. overdone 2. really  rough. literally. and 3. just....ugly Slice it up, and there's even MORE of a difference! Check out the difference in rise! Texture! Color! Everything! So you can see a few differences from these pictures, I'm sure. The rise, the coloring, the texture, it's all so different between the first and second
