instructions
    1

    Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

    2

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

    3

    Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened and fragrant.

    4

    Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and add them to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

    5

    While the chicken is cooking, wash and trim the Brussels sprouts. Halve them and set aside.

    6

    Once the chicken is cooked, add the Brussels sprouts to the skillet along with 1 cup of chicken broth and 1 cup of heavy cream. Stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

    7

    Cook for an additional 10 minutes until the Brussels sprouts begin to soften.

    8

    Transfer the mixture to a casserole dish. Sprinkle 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese on top.

    9

    Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.

    10

    After 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown.

    11

    Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
