Description
Make a complete, flavorful dinner on one pan with this simple recipe featuring juicy chicken breasts and tender-crisp Brussels sprouts coated in a rich garlic butter sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1.5-inch pieces
- 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional, for finishing)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to create the garlic butter sauce. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with the olive oil until lightly coated. Spread the sprouts in a single layer on one half of the prepared baking sheet.
- Place the chicken pieces on the other half of the baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Brush about half of the garlic butter sauce evenly over the chicken pieces. Drizzle the remaining sauce over the Brussels sprouts.
- Roast for 15 minutes.
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Toss the Brussels sprouts gently. Flip the chicken pieces.
- Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 8 to 12 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the sprouts are tender and slightly browned.
- Remove from the oven. If using, drizzle the lemon juice over the chicken and sprouts before serving immediately.
Notes
- For best results, ensure your Brussels sprouts are cut in half so they cook evenly with the chicken.
- Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary to allow the vegetables to roast rather than steam.
- If your chicken pieces are very thick, you may need to add 5 minutes to the total cook time.
