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.

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.

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.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 3h5m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, fresh or frozen
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 (1 ounce) package Italian salad dressing mix

Steps:

  • Place chicken in crock pot.
  • Cut cream cheese into cubes and distribute evenly over chicken.
  • In separate bowl, mix cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 can water, and Italian dressing mix until smooth.
  • Pour mixture over chicken and cream cheese in crock pot.
  • Set crock pot on high and let cook for 3 hours for fresh chicken or 4 hours for frozen chicken.
  • Serve with rice or egg noodles.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before starting, ensure all ingredients are prepped and measured. This will make the cooking process smoother and more enjoyable.
  • Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are ideal for this recipe. For a richer flavor, use chicken thighs.
  • Sear the chicken: Searing the chicken before slow cooking adds flavor and helps lock in the juices. Sear the chicken in a hot skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
  • Use high-quality cream: Heavy cream or whipping cream will provide the creamiest sauce. If using a lower-fat cream, the sauce may be thinner.
  • Season well: Don't be afraid to season the dish with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, to enhance the flavor.
  • Slow cook on low: Cooking the chicken and vegetables on low heat for 6-8 hours allows the flavors to meld and the chicken to become tender and fall-apart.
  • Serve immediately: Once the cooking is complete, serve the creamy chicken and Brussels sprouts immediately over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes. The dish is best enjoyed hot.

Conclusion:

This crock-pot creamy chicken and Brussels sprouts recipe is an easy and flavorful meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. The chicken is tender and juicy, the Brussels sprouts are perfectly cooked and slightly caramelized, and the creamy sauce is rich and delicious. With minimal prep work and a few simple ingredients, you can have a satisfying and comforting dish that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a hassle-free meal, give this recipe a try!
