Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 12 oz halved Brussels sprouts with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until edges are crispy and centers tender.
- Step 2: Meanwhile, season 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper evenly on both sides. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Step 3: Place chicken breasts in the hot skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes without moving until golden brown. Flip and cook another 5-6 minutes until cooked through (internal temp 165°F).
- Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar until smooth.
- Step 5: Reduce heat to low and brush the honey-mustard glaze over the chicken breasts. Cook for 1-2 minutes more, spooning glaze over chicken, until sticky and glossy.
- Step 6: Serve the glazed chicken alongside the roasted Brussels sprouts for a balanced meal.
