Ingredients

– 1 pound Brussels sprouts, halved

Instructions
Follow these steps to create the amazing Balsamic Glazed Chicken with Roasted Brussels Sprouts:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a ziplock bag or shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
4. Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: While the chicken marinates, wash and cut the Brussels sprouts in half. Toss them in the remaining marinade until evenly coated.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: On a large baking sheet, place the marinated chicken breasts. Scatter the Brussels sprouts around the chicken.
6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the Brussels sprouts are tender and caramelized.
7. Glaze the Chicken: In the last 5 minutes of baking, brush the chicken with additional marinade for a more intense flavor.
8. Rest the Chicken: Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing to retain its juices.
9. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle fresh rosemary or thyme over the platter for added flavor and presentation.
10. Serve: Arrange the sliced chicken and Brussels sprouts on a serving platter, drizzling any remaining glaze over the top.
