4 (5 ounce) skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
1 pound Brussels sprouts, halved
½ cup dry white wine
1 (3.5 ounce) link Italian sausage, sliced
3 large shallots, sliced
1 medium lemon, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed

1 teaspoon fennel seeds, or to taste
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme, or to taste
1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage, or to taste
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Toss together with your hands and allow to marinate at room temperature, tossing occasionally, for at least 30 minutes.

Provided by Kristen Stevens

Categories     Dinner

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 chicken thighs - skin on or off (your choice!)
1 lb brussels sprouts (cut in half)
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¾ cup chicken stock
2 teaspoons butter
3 cloves garlic (grated on a Microplane or very finely minced)

Steps:

  • Add the chicken to a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat skin side up. (If using skinless thighs, add a teaspoon of oil.) Sprinkle half the salt and pepper over the chicken and let it cook for 5 minutes, or until it has browned on the bottom. Flip the chicken over and sprinkle on the remaining salt and pepper. Cook until the skin is crispy or the top is brown, about 6-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan.
  • While the chicken is cooking, cut the brussels in half. Add the brussels sprouts to the pan and let them cook until they are brown on one side, about 5 minutes. Push them to the side of the pan and arrange the chicken on the other side of the pan. Pour the chicken stock into the pan (not over the crispy chicken) and let it simmer until the pan is dry and the chicken is fully cooked, about 15 minutes.
  • Pile the brussels sprouts on one side of the pan and add the butter and garlic. Let the garlic cook for 2 minutes then spoon some garlic butter over the tops of the chicken. Mix the rest of the garlic butter into the brussels sprouts.
  • Serve with lots of extra black pepper.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons hot sauce, such as Cholula
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, sliced into 1/2-inch strips
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
12 ounces shaved Brussels sprouts
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Mix 1 tablespoon of the hot sauce and 1 tablespoon of the honey together in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Whisk the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil, remaining 2 tablespoons hot sauce, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper together in a large bowl. Add the chicken and toss until combined.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the panko, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the panko is golden brown and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a small bowl and stir in the chives; set aside.
  • Return the skillet to the stovetop and add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil.
  • Add the chicken and any juices left in the bowl and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink, 6 to 7 minutes. Fold in the remaining 1 tablespoon of honey until just combined. Remove the chicken to a plate and set aside.
  • Add the Brussels sprouts and 3/4 teaspoon salt to the skillet and toss to combine with any residual juices and oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the Brussels sprouts are bright green and starting to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the vinegar and cook, stirring, until the sprouts are tender and caramelized, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Divide the Brussels sprouts among four bowls and top each with some chicken. Drizzle the reserved hot sauce-honey mixture over the chicken, then sprinkle each serving with some of the panko mixture.

SHEET-PAN LEMONY CHICKEN WITH BRUSSELS SPROUTS



Sheet-Pan Lemony Chicken With Brussels Sprouts image

This is a true oven-to-table sheet-pan dinner full of tender, crunchy brussels sprouts and crispy, lemony chicken. A simple lemon-and-herb compound butter seasons both the chicken and sprouts, which are then topped with thin lemon slices that become crunchy in the oven, offering a nice textural element and a bright splash of color and flavor. The key is to cut the lemon rounds almost paper-thin, so they can crisp up and lose their bitterness. This recipe is easily adjustable for a larger batch: Add 4 drumsticks (about 1 ½ pounds) to the chicken thighs, increase the butter by 1 tablespoon and adjust seasonings as needed.

Categories     dinner, weekday, poultry, vegetables, main course

Time 1h

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons unsalted butter or ghee, at room temperature
2 lemons, both zested (about 2 tablespoons), 1 cut into very thin rounds and 1 halved, seeds removed
1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves and tender stems, finely chopped
Kosher salt and black pepper
3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds)
1 1/2 pounds brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved, tough outer leaves removed
1 small red onion, peeled, quartered and cut into 1-inch wedges
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees, set one rack 6 inches from the broiler and place another rack in the lower third of the oven. In a large bowl, combine the butter, zest of both lemons, half the parsley and 1 teaspoon salt. Rub 1 teaspoon oil on a sheet pan. Pat the chicken dry, then transfer to the sheet pan and season well with salt and pepper. Reserve about 1 teaspoon of the compound butter in the bowl, then rub the rest all over the chicken and under the skin by lifting it up, pushing a tiny amount of compound butter underneath, then pressing on top. Arrange the chicken pieces skin-side up.
  • Add the brussels sprouts, onion wedges, lemon rounds, red-pepper flakes and the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil to the bowl with the compound butter; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange the brussels sprouts mixture around the chicken, placing some lemon rounds on top of the vegetables.
  • Roast on the lower rack, 30 to 35 minutes, stirring the vegetables halfway through, until the chicken is crispy, the chicken juices run clear when the meat is pierced with a fork, and the brussels sprouts are browned and crunchy. If the chicken skin is not as crispy as you'd like, transfer the vegetables to a serving platter, then place the chicken under the broiler for 1 to 3 minutes. Transfer the chicken to the serving platter.
  • Squeeze one of the lemon halves over the chicken and vegetables and cut the remaining lemon half into quarters. Garnish the chicken and vegetables with the cheese and the remaining parsley, and serve with the lemon wedges.
