Yoga and Caramelized Chicken



Ok so today was Yoga day, generally it is super easy for me to do as I happen to be the worlds tallest woman with super gumby powers, but with all the hard core work outs we have been doing on top of the yoga I was stiff as a board! There are a ton of guys out there who might ask you to turn in your man card if they found out a guy did yoga, but Stewy claims it is one of his toughest workouts! I cant wait to go at it again next week, hopefully the soreness will be gone and we can hit it hard again! Here is the recipe I chose for tonight it looked simple and easy. I am also going to serve it with a carrots and grapes side dish...stay-tuned for that recipe! Enjoy. Ps. you could double the sauce, but remember the calories and dont over do it *wink*!

Garlic, brown sugar and olive oil caramelize during baking, creating extraordinarily tasty chicken breasts.
