Garlic and Brown Sugar Chicken

I was hungry for a flavourful chicken dish and I've seen "garlic and brown sugar chicken" on Facebook so many times, do I thought I'd attempt it. This is very approximate because I was winging it. 

1 Tbsp cooking oil

2 chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 small onion, chopped

8 cloves garlic

1 Tbsp Montreal Steak Spice

3/4 cup brown sugar

2 Tbsp cornstarch

1/2 cup water

Cut chicken into small pieces, sprinkle with steak spice. It might seem like it has too much kick, but it's a good balance in the end. For my tastebuds.

On low heat, I used a cast iron pan, heat oil, add seasoned chicken. Add whole cloves of garlic and onion. The low heat allows the onion and garlic to caramelize and mellow as the chicken cooks.

I didn't cover to cook and it didn't get dry or tough. As it cooks, mix brown sugar, cornstarch, and water.

When the onions and garlic were soft, I added the brown sugar mixture. I covered it up at this point. I let it gently simmer a bit to coat the meat. The sweetness and the kick of pepper in the steak spice is a nice combo. Served over mashed potatoes or rice.
