I am a huge fan of meals you can make in one pan or pot and that are easy to customize. This chicken recipe is one of my go-to dinners that I make almost every week. This is also really easy to scale up if you want to make extra for leftovers. It’s also really versatile. My favorite version of this is with parsnips, but you can sub them for another root vegetable like butternut or kabocha squash, carrots, or sweet potato.  

Ingredients

  • 1 lb brussels sprouts, halved
