Brussel Sprout Recipe With Pancetta And Chicken

[Sarita Snoddy]

I marinated the chicken breasts only for 5-10 minutes while cutting up Brussels sprouts and apples. You can marinate longer and even prepare them ahead of time by marinating the chicken breasts overnight.

I used fresh thyme here, which needs to be stripped from the stem before mixing it with chicken or veggies. You can also place whole thyme sprigs on sheet pan chicken breasts to give it a bit of thyme flavor.

Brush any remaining marinade over sheet pan chicken breasts, sprouts, apples and bacon. It will look like A LOT of stuff on the sheet pan, but I promise it will all shrink (especially the apples), while baking.

I tried it with chicken thighs but cooked it longer, also needed more liquid for marinade but recipe had a nice flavor, overall. Added balsamic glaze to allow for additional amount to cover brussel sprouts with marinade. Would try chicken breast next time.

This bacon brussels sprouts recipe is also a great way to use rotisserie chicken, leftover chicken, or leftover turkey from Thanksgiving!! Simply shred or cut the turkey and use in place of the chicken and add it to the recipe when you would add back the cooked chicken.



Finely dice the onion. Trim the stems of the brussels sprouts if needed and peel any wilted or damaged leaves off. Then cut each in half. If a brussels sprout is much larger than the others, you can quarter it so that all pieces are roughly the same size.

To the bacon fat, add the chicken and brown (takes about 4-5 minutes). Then turn the chicken to brown the other side and finish cooking through. Another 3-4 minutes. Remove the chicken to the plate with the bacon.

Turn the heat back up to medium and add the brussels sprouts with a touch of olive oil if needed at this point. Add teaspoon Salt and teaspoon Pepper, then stir. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the brussels sprouts begin to sear and soften.

Yes, you can definitely use leftover roasted brussels sprouts! Since they are already cooked, you can skip Cooking Step #5 and instead, just add the brussels sprouts to the pot with the chicken and bacon. If you have other roasted vegetables leftover as well, feel free to use those too! For example, leftover roasted sweet potatoes would be delicious!

If you are looking for slow cooker recipes to save space in the oven on Thanksgiving, then you can definitely move this one to the slow cooker. To do so, follow the same Prep-ahead steps and Cooking steps #1-3 so that you render the bacon fat and use that to sear the chicken. Then in Step 4, simply add everything to the slow cooker and set for 4-6 hours high heat or 8 hours low.

Yes, you can use chicken thighs, but I recommend sticking with skinless boneless chicken thighs for easy prep and cooking. Consider the amount of thighs that you will need as well. Generally, I estimate 16 ounces or 1 pound of chicken for 4 servings. That will likely mean 5-6 boneless skinless thighs, depending on their size. The recipe instructions will be the same for thighs as the breasts.

To save time, you can use pre-cooked chicken or leftover turkey in this Chicken, Brussels Sprouts, Bacon recipe. Simply skip Cooking step 3, which is cooking the meat. Instead of cooking the meat, in the Prep Steps, you will cut the chicken or turkey into cubes or shred it into about 1 inch pieces. Then in Cooking Step 6, add the chicken or turkey to the pan with the bacon and let it warm through for about 3-5 minutes. Then follow the normal cooking instructions in the recipe after that.

Turn the heat back up to medium and add the brussels sprouts with a touch of olive oil if needed at this point. Add teaspoon Salt and teaspoon Pepper, then stir. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the brussel sprouts begin to sear and soften.

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Place chicken on a baking sheet and coat chicken with 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. On a separate baking sheet lined with parchment paper, arrange brussels sprouts and coat with 1 1/2 Tbsp avocado oil plus salt and pepper.

Roast chicken and brussels sprouts for 20-25 minutes or until brussels sprouts are browning and fork tender, and chicken is cooked through. Midway through, flip the chicken and stir sprouts for even roasting.

Cut the chicken into bite size pieces, or shred, and arrange in a casserole dish, then add the roasted Brussels sprouts and the sauce mixture, stir to evenly coat. Crumble the cooked bacon and sprinkle all over, then bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, until heated through. Serve hot and enjoy!

Sautéed Brussels Sprouts with Pancetta is an easy side dish, packed with flavor. This recipe works great for a holiday meal or a weeknight dinner. Feel free to buy pre-shredded Brussel sprouts, to save even more time in the kitchen.

Brussels sprouts are a fall staple, and this recipe gives them something a little extra special with the addition of pancetta. There are lots of different ways to enjoy Brussels sprouts whether it be in a salad, roasted, or wrapped with bacon, but sautéed with pancetta might just be my absolute favorite way to eat (and serve) Brussels sprouts. This recipe is so easy and absolutely incredible!

You can find Brussels sprouts year round in the United States, however they are actually in season and tastiest from September to March. When shopping for Brussels sprouts, look for bright green sprouts with intact outer leaves. They should feel firm when gently squeezed. Store unused Brussels sprouts in a bag in the vegetable drawer. They should keep well for 7 to 10 days.

Brussels sprouts are a VERY healthy food! They are sometimes even called a nutritional powerhouse! They are packed with fiber, have tons of antioxidants and are a great source of vitamin K, vitamin C, folate and manganese.

Then, blend with a whisk everything until all the ingredients are well incorporated. Finally, place the chicken thighs in the bowl, cover it with a plastic wrap and place it the fridge for 30 minutes or overnight.

If needed, add a drizzle of avocado oil or olive oil to the skillet and add the brussels sprouts, red pepper flakes, and remaining salt. Fry for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the minced garlic and fry for an extra minute or just until fragrant.

Heat the olive oil in a large (12-inch) sauté pan and add the pancetta. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the fat is rendered and the pancetta is golden brown and crisp, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the pancetta to a plate lined with a paper towel.

Add the Brussels sprouts, salt, and pepper to the fat in the pan and sauté over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until lightly browned. Add the raisins and chicken stock. Lower the heat and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the sprouts are tender when pierced with a knife, about 15 minutes. If the skillet becomes too dry, add a little chicken stock or water. Return the pancetta to the pan, heat through, season to taste, and serve.

My version of Chef Symon's Skillet Chicken Thighs with Brussels Sprouts & Bacon was delicious! While I won't ever claim my recipe recreation would rival one of an Iron Chef, it was in fact very tasty and one I'll be making again soon.

The ingredients for making Skillet Chicken Thighs with Brussels Sprouts & Bacon are pretty much just as the title suggests; chicken thighs, grapeseed oil, fresh Brussels sprouts, bacon, shallots, white wine, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. I'm making a mental note to myself however that the next time I make this dish, I'm going to add a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg into the skillet along with the Brussels sprouts.

I'm going to write the nutmeg into the printable recipe card here today, and you can either use it or not. But I hope you'll trust me when I say I know it will make a lovely addition to this dish because the flavor of nutmeg pairs amazingly well with dark leafy vegetables like Brussels sprouts.

Season the chicken thighs on both sides with salt and pepper and then brown them in a large skillet over medium/high heat in the grapeseed oil (or other light colored oil). Once browned, remove them to a plate or rack and set aside.

Here's the deal: my 2-year-old girl gobbled this up and even loved the leftovers reheated for lunch the next day. Want to know the trick? It's an easy one. All I had to do was tell her that brussels sprouts are baby cabbages and she was all over it. Baby anything wins her over. Are your kids the same?

This recipe is simply wonderful, fast, healthy and inexpensive! My daughter came running in kitchen because of the aroma of the garlic.
Warning!
The recipe should be doubled for leftovers or a hungry neighbor that followed the aroma of the garlic!!! I served it with candied carrots.
Nothing was left???
