Scale
For the Chicken Marinade:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped (plus more for garnish)
- 2 tbsp lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tbsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
For the Chicken and Brussels Sprouts:
- 8 chicken thighs (preferably skin-on, boneless)
- 1 1/2 lbs Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp olive oil
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a small bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients. Place chicken thighs in a large bowl or Ziploc bag, add the marinade, and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours (preferably overnight).
- Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts. Place them on a lined baking sheet, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, and olive oil. Toss to combine and spread them out to the edges of the pan in a single layer.
- Assemble the Sheet Pan: Remove the marinated chicken from the fridge and arrange it skin-side up in the center of the baking sheet, about ½ inch apart.
- Bake the Chicken & Brussels Sprouts: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Roast uncovered for 25 minutes (or 30 minutes for bone-in chicken).
- Broil for Crispiness: For crispy chicken skin, broil on high heat for 2-4 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Notes
- For extra crispy Brussels sprouts, roast them separately for 5 more minutes.
- Use bone-in chicken thighs for more flavor, but increase cooking time by 5 minutes.
- Make it a full meal by serving with roasted potatoes or quinoa.
