Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 2 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
Vegetables
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, halved
Glaze and Seasoning
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is hot enough for roasting the chicken and Brussels sprouts evenly.
- Prepare the glaze: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, creating a flavorful marinade for the dish.
- Coat chicken and vegetables: Add the chicken breasts and halved Brussels sprouts to the bowl and toss everything together thoroughly to ensure each piece is well coated with the balsamic glaze and seasoning.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Spread the coated chicken and Brussels sprouts evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer for even cooking and caramelization.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C) and the Brussels sprouts are tender and caramelized on the edges.
- Rest and serve: Remove from oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute, then plate and enjoy.
Notes
- You can use bone-in chicken breasts, but adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- For extra flavor, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup to the balsamic glaze before baking.
- If Brussels sprouts are too large, cutting them into quarters can help them cook more evenly.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Pair with a side of rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
