Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 12 oz halved Brussels sprouts with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes until caramelized and tender.
- Step 2: While Brussels roast, season 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
- Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
- Step 4: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium-low and add 2 minced garlic cloves, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Step 5: Stir in 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar and 2 tbsp honey, simmering gently for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- Step 6: Return chicken to the skillet and spoon the honey-balsamic glaze over each piece, cooking for 1 more minute to warm.
- Step 7: Toss roasted Brussels sprouts with 1 tbsp butter until melted and glossy. Serve chicken topped with glaze alongside Brussels sprouts.
