Spicy Lemon Chicken With Brussels Sprouts Recipes

PAN-ROASTED CHICKEN WITH LEMON-GARLIC BRUSSELS SPROUTS AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until lightly browned but still soft, about 5 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate.
• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Coat a large baking dish or cast iron skillet with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• Arrange lemon slices in a single layer on the bottom of the baking dish.
• Stir remaining 5 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, kosher salt, and black pepper together in a large bowl.
• Toss Brussels sprouts in lemon juice mixture to coat; transfer to the prepared baking dish with a slotted spoon, draining excess liquid back into the bowl.
• Place bacon on top of the Brussels sprouts.
• Toss potatoes in the same lemon juice mixture used for the Brussels sprouts.
• Remove potatoes with slotted spoon and arrange along the inside edge of the baking dish.
• Coat chicken breast halves thoroughly in the remaining lemon mixture.
• Place chicken breasts skin-side up in the skillet; pour any remaining lemon juice mixture over chicken.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 60 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

SPICY LEMON CHICKEN WITH BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Cook frozen Brussels sprouts as directed on bag, using minimum cook time.
• In 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add chicken; sprinkle with lemon-pepper seasoning. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly, until chicken is no longer pink.
• Reduce heat to low; stir in cooked Brussels sprouts, lemon juice and green onions. Cook and stir about 2 minutes or until hot. Serve over hot cooked rice. Garnish with lemon wedges.

SHEET PAN ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Clean and trim fat from chicken. Pat dry with paper towels. Place in a large bowl with Brussels sprouts, wine, sausage, shallots, lemon slices, garlic, oil, rosemary, fennel seeds, thyme, sage, salt, and pepper. Toss together with your hands and allow to marinate at room temperature, tossing occasionally, for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Spray a baking pan with nonstick spray.
• Pour chicken and vegetable mixture onto the prepared baking pan. Arrange thighs, skin-side up, over mixture.
• Roast in the preheated oven until thighs are browned, crispy, and no longer pink in the centers, 25 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

CHILE-THYME CHICKEN BREASTS WITH SWEET AND SPICY BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• For the Brussels sprouts: Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and toss until the sprouts are thoroughly coated. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and roast in the oven until the sprouts are dark golden brown, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the marinade: Combine all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Alternatively, combine the ingredients in a quart-size deli container and blend until smooth with an immersion blender or simply whisk together in a small bowl.
• Marinate the chicken: Place the chicken in a medium bowl. Add enough of the marinade to coat the chicken breasts completely and let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes, if time allows. (Refrigerate any excess marinade and reserve for another use.)
• Meanwhile, make the sweet chile sauce: Whisk together all the ingredients in a small bowl until fully incorporated. Set aside until ready to serve.
• Cook the chicken: Heat a saute pan over high heat until smoking. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Melt the butter in the smoking pan, add the chicken and cook, flipping once, until seared and cooked through, about 3 1/2 minutes on each side. Remove to a plate and let rest for 3 minutes. Slice the chicken on a bias into 6 or 7 thin strips.
• Finish and plate: Toss the roasted Brussels sprouts in the sweet chile sauce. Serve them alongside the chicken with a slotted spoon to ensure not too much of the sauce lands on the plate.
