Equipment

  • 1 Large Skillet non-stick preferred
  • 1 Tongs
  • 1 Spatula

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts halved
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on all sides. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Cooking the Brussels Sprouts

  • In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Place the Brussels sprouts cut-side down and cook until they are browned and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

Combining Ingredients

  • Reduce the heat to medium, add the butter and garlic to the skillet. Stir until the butter is melted and the garlic is fragrant.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet. Toss everything gently to coat with the garlic butter, allowing the flavors to meld for 3-4 minutes.

Serving

  • Transfer the chicken and Brussels sprouts to plates. Drizzle any remaining garlic butter sauce over the top. Serve immediately.

Storage

  • Place any leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through.

How to Serve: Great with a side of mashed potatoes or a fresh salad.
Storage & Freshness: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Make-Ahead Tips: Prep the Brussels sprouts in advance and store in the fridge.
