There are some great garlic chicken recipes on here, but most of them are written for a cook who has a lot of time and is cooking for more than just two people. This is what I came up with as something smaller and simpler to serve with a sweeter side. I served it with acorn squash cooked with brown sugar and peas. The meal ended up having a flavor reminiscent of North African food.

SERVES 2 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon butter (light butter is ok)
5 garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
water (may substitute dry white wine or sherry)

Directions

1
Use one tablespoon of the olive oil to saute the chicken breast over medium heat until brown, set aside.
2
Add second tablespoon of olive oil, butter, garlic and spices and sauté until fragrant.
3
Add lemon juice and stir until mixed.
4
Add reserved chicken, brown sugar and enough water or wine to create a sauce with the spices and sugar.
5
Simmer about 10 minutes, turning once, until the flavors begin to penetrate the meat. Add more water as needed.

The chicken cooked up nice and tender and the sauce looked and smelled really nice as it was cooking. But the chicken didn't have a whole lot of flavor like I expected it to. It was simple to put together though and I served with steamed broccoli and carrots and some buttered rice.

so quick and so tasty! Made it as directed but used 1 Tbsp brown sugar Splenda because hubby is diabetic. Sliced the garlic, and used very large cloves. It carmelizes beautifully. Served with brown rice, asparagus and butternut squash. Thanks Anacat for a refreshingly different recipe. I'll be making this many times.
