I may fall in the minority here, but I am a HUGE fan of Brussels sprouts. Yes, you read that right. I can’t understand why people hate them so much. They are rich in so many nutrients like folate, manganese, vitamin B6, and more. It is a great source of vitamin C and vitamin K. Basically it is the best. And if cooked properly Brussel sprouts tastes amazing too.
They are a cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, kale, cabbage and collard greens, and have many health benefits such as reducing your risk for cancer and heart disease. However, if you don’t like how they taste, and therefore don’t eat them, they can’t actually give you those health benefits.
Wouldn’t it be amazing if that is how it worked? You could look at the gym and get fit, or buy the veggies and not actually consume them and you could get all the benefits? Well, it doesn’t, so instead, let’s find ways to make them taste amazing so you can actually enjoy those benefits!
Well here you go…
And then there is the chicken!
The thing I love about this chicken is it is pretty simple. It doesn’t require anything you won’t likely already find in your spice cabinet. But the flavor is amazing. And the same seasonings you use on the chicken can be used on the Brussel sprouts. Simple and flavorful. I call that a huge win.
Tips for Making Roasted Brussel Sprouts and Chicken
- Clean those Brussels sprouts really well. They won’t taste good if they have dirt on them, so to clean your Brussel sprout, rinse them off in cold water to remove any dust or dirt, then use a small knife to take off the tip of the stem and discard it, then take off any of the outer leaves, especially if they have blemishes. Some will just fall off.
- Preheat the oven. This is not a suggestion. To insure the proper cooking time, get that crispiness you want on the Brussel sprouts, and still have juicy tender (but cooked through) chicken, wait for the oven to preheat.
- Line your sheet pan to make clean up easier.
- Season to your preference. I have included my preference for the amount of spices, but if you like more, add more, if you want it more subtly spiced, add less. That is the beauty of cooking, you can adjust to your preference.

What can you use in stead of the sage? What is another herb I can use? Thanks

You can use rosemary or thyme, or just leave the sage off.

Using bone-in chicken breasts I would just need to increase bake time, correct?
