instructions
    1

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). This ensures your chicken and Brussels sprouts cook evenly.

    2

    While the oven is heating, wash and trim the Brussels sprouts, then cut them in half.

    3

    In a large bowl, combine the Brussels sprouts, chicken breast, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until well coated.

    4

    Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet, placing the chicken in the center and the Brussels sprouts around it.

    5

    Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit or 75 degrees Celsius) and the Brussels sprouts are golden brown.

    6

    For the final 5 minutes, sprinkle the parmesan cheese over the top of the chicken and Brussels sprouts, allowing it to melt and become slightly crispy.

    7

    Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving for better flavor.

  • Add some sliced almonds before roasting for extra crunch.

Important Tips

  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor.
  • Try marinating the chicken in herbs or spices a few hours ahead for added taste.
