Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 12 oz halved Brussels sprouts with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until golden and tender.
  2. Step 2: Meanwhile, season 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper on both sides. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Step 3: Add chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove chicken and keep warm.
  4. Step 4: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium-low and add 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar and 1 tbsp honey. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the glaze thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  5. Step 5: Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the chicken breasts and serve alongside the roasted Brussels sprouts.
