Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1.5-inch pieces
1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lemon, cut into wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to create the garlic butter sauce. Set aside.
Place the halved Brussels sprouts on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss lightly to coat.
Place the chicken pieces on the other side of the baking sheet.
Pour half of the garlic butter sauce evenly over the chicken and toss to coat. Pour the remaining half over the Brussels sprouts and toss to coat. Spread the chicken and sprouts into a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Roast for 20 to 25 minutes. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the Brussels sprouts should be tender and slightly browned.
Remove from the oven. Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges.
Notes
For crispier sprouts, you can toss them with 1 teaspoon of cornstarch before adding the butter sauce.
If you prefer chicken breasts, cut them into uniform 1-inch pieces and check for doneness around the 18-minute mark, as they cook faster than thighs.
Use a large sheet pan; overcrowding causes steaming instead of roasting.
