Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound each chicken breast to an even 1.5 cm thickness to ensure even cooking.

In a small bowl, combine Cajun Seasoning, brown sugar, and salt.

Line a baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Place chicken breasts in the pan and coat evenly with the seasoning mixture.

Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the seasoned chicken.

Bake chicken in preheated oven for 18 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) using an instant meat thermometer.

Broil on high during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, until golden and the edges begin to caramelize.

Remove pan from oven and let chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

In a small pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, ensuring it doesn't brown.

Combine the garlic-infused olive oil with any pan juices from the baked chicken and drizzle over the chicken breasts before serving.
