Low Carb Roasted Lemon Pepper Chicken and Brussels Sprouts

8 ratings

Brussels sprouts are sliced in half and then seared flat sides down until browned. Start with Brussels Sprouts first to give them a head start on cooking. Then chicken breasts are seasoned with delicious, tangy lemon pepper and pan seared to golden perfection and placed next to the Brussels sprouts. Then the whole pan goes into the oven to finish roasting. This is a delicious simple meal for weeknights.

45 min

  • Step 1

    Preheat an oven to 400 F. Slice Brussels sprouts in half. Slice chicken breasts in half to make two long flat pieces (like cutting a piece of bread in half for a sandwich). Season chicken breasts with lemon pepper on both sides.
    Step 1

  • Step 2

    Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add 2 tbsp olive oil. Add Brussels sprouts flat sides down. Cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes turning heat down to medium. Remove veggies to a plate.
    Step 2

  • Step 3

    Add 2 tbsp more oil to cast iron and place chicken in a pan.
    Step 3

  • Step 4

    Do not touch the chicken as it is getting a sear or it will break the sear. Allow the chicken to cook like this for several minutes until browned, then flip them.
    Step 4

  • Step 5

    Move chicken to the side of the pan. Add the Brussels sprouts to the other side. Place cast iron in the oven until chicken is cooked through and reaches 165 F internal temperature about 10-12 minutes. Serve immediately.

        I was really looking forward to enjoying this for dinner. We were SO DISAPPOINTED. Had no flavor and certainly did not live up to the other fabulous meals we have enjoyed on the ap. Definitely needs some advise from those that know how to enhance a recipe
