    Yes I did make this and I didn't flip because it makes kind of a crust after broiling. My husband thinks should make twice the amount of spice, garlic, brown sugar and flip 1/2 way through, but I think that would be too much.... Hope you like his

    I make something like this at home, I love how moist the chicken turns out. I do not use as much brown sugar as they call for makes it a little more healthier.

    Thank for this! I'm so tired of eating chicken breast, need to find a way to change up the taste. Going to try this today and report back on how it tasted.

    i made something similar recently, only the chicken breast was wrapped in bacon and seared in a skillet first to get the bacon to brown a bit, then put it in the oven, then finally about 30 seconds under the broiler. It was really yummy. Thanks for reminding me about this recipe!

    I made this three nights ago!! I served it with some sautéed vegetables and steamed green beans. It was a different taste than I have had before, but it was delicious!!
