Description

Tender chicken breasts roasted with crispy Brussels sprouts in a flavorful garlic Dijon sauce, all cooked on one sheet pan for easy cleanup.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: fresh thyme or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp olive oil, garlic, Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  3. Place chicken breasts on the baking sheet. Brush both sides generously with the garlic Dijon mixture.
  4. In a separate bowl, toss Brussels sprouts with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  5. Arrange Brussels sprouts around the chicken on the baking sheet in a single layer.
  6. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and Brussels sprouts are tender and caramelized.
  7. Optional: broil for 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  8. Remove from oven, let chicken rest for 5 minutes.
  9. Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Use chicken thighs for juicier meat; adjust cooking time accordingly.
  • Make sure Brussels sprouts are halved evenly for uniform cooking.
  • Add sliced shallots or baby potatoes for more variety on the sheet pan.
  • Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Serve with quinoa, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
