- 1 lb Brussels sprouts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the chicken and Brussels sprouts.
- Season the chicken: Generously season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and paprika ensuring even coverage for enhanced flavor.
- Prepare the Brussels sprouts: Trim off the ends of the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half for quicker, more even roasting.
- Toss the Brussels sprouts: In a baking dish, combine the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat all the sprouts evenly.
- Arrange chicken and sprouts: Place the seasoned chicken breasts on top of the prepared Brussels sprouts in the baking dish, allowing flavors to meld during roasting.

Notes
- Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
- You can add a squeeze of lemon juice over the finished dish for a bright, fresh flavor.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper when seasoning the chicken.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For extra crispiness, broil the Brussels sprouts for 2-3 minutes at the end of cooking, watching closely to prevent burning.
