Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 1 lb halved Brussels sprouts with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes until edges are golden and tender.
  2. Step 2: Meanwhile, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb chicken breast pieces, seasoned with 1/2 tsp sea salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until cooked through and lightly browned.
  3. Step 3: Add 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger to the chicken and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
  4. Step 4: Pour in 2 tbsp water and 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the sauce reduces slightly and coats the chicken.
  5. Step 5: Serve the garlic ginger chicken alongside the roasted Brussels sprouts while hot.
