Good doesn’t have to be complicated. Or translate into hours at the stove. Take our sweet garlic chicken, for example.
Ten minutes to prepare. Twenty minutes for the oven to work its magic. And ta-daa! You’ve got dinner on the table.
With plenty of garlic, a touch of sea salt, and a natural sugar called sucanat (feel free to substitute your favorite natural sugar – coconut sugar would be great!) – even the pickiest eater will devour your dinner that’s so “clean eating” that it’s compliant for the autoimmune protocol diet.
What’s more, this easy dish becomes a quick protein that you can grab later when time is short.
Made enough for leftovers? Toss it into Filipino Pancit and recreate the taste of delicious take-out. Chop it into cubes for a mason jar salad. Or slice it cold and pack into school lunches for the next day.

Excellent Recipe. I ate it with the Coconut Cauliflower Rice and it was a great meal. However, I would suggest doubling the size of the sauce in order to fully cover the chicken pieces as it looks in the picture.
