How to make Roasted Chicken and Brussels Sprouts
Step 1 – Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Step 2 – Place Brussels sprouts in a single layer at the bottom of an 8×8-inch baking dish.
Step 3 – Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Step 4 – In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, lemon juice, chicken broth, and thyme. Pour over the Brussel sprouts in the dish.
Step 5 – Sprinkle each chicken breast with salt and pepper then wrap with bacon. Place the chicken bacon seam-side down on top of the sprouts.
Step 6 – Bake in the preheated oven on the middle oven rack for 25-30 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer reaches 165 degrees F. If you want the bacon to be extra crispy, switch the oven to broil and allow it to cook under the broiler for a few extra minutes.
