Preparation

Step 1

Instructions

Season chicken breast with salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes. Place in well oiled porcelain or pyrex baking dish.

In a small pan, heat butter and oil, add garlic and cook for just a few seconds. Do not allow garlic to brow or it will taste bitter.

Add brown sugar and mix.

Cover chicken breast with this mixture. Bake at about 175 C (350 F) for about 25-30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.

In the meantime cook spaghetti in salted water and drain.

In a pan, melt butter, add garlic and cook for a few seconds. Season with salt and pepper. Add spaghetti and toss well to combine.

Serve with grated Parmesan cheese. Garnish with chopped parsley (optional).
