Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss 12 oz halved Brussels sprouts and 6 peeled garlic cloves with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 25 minutes, stirring halfway, until sprouts are browned and garlic is soft.
- Step 2: Meanwhile, pat dry 2 chicken breasts (about 6 oz each) and season both sides with 1/2 tsp sea salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Step 3: Add the chicken breasts to the hot skillet and sauté for 6-7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the exterior is golden brown. Remove chicken and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Step 4: Stir roasted Brussels sprouts and garlic with 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme. Slice chicken and serve alongside the sprouts, spooning any pan juices over the top.
