Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Step 2

Place chicken breasts in a single layer in a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 3

Mix together brown sugar, soy sauce, bourbon, dried minced onion, ginger, and garlic powder in a small bowl until well combined; pour over chicken. Cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours to overnight.
