After you get the recipe for this easy One Pan Chicken and Brussel Sprouts dish, don’t forget to scroll down to the bottom of the post so you can enter the Giveaway for a chance to win a $700 Amazon Gift Card!
Oh how I love one pan (or pot) meals.
Less dishes, less fuss and so many tasty flavors all together makes them the perfect option for weeknight dinners. They are also a good way to stay on track with our New Year’s resolutions to eat healthier. There are about a million ways to make meat and veggies in one pan. What could be a healthier and more balanced than that?
Ok, maybe salad, but let’s be real, that’s not happening EVERY night.
I really love brussel sprouts, as I’ve already shown you with Bacon Cranberry Brussel Sprout Medley and Roast Chicken with Harvest Vegetables (another good one pot meal).
They’re delicious AND currently in season, so I can get them at farmer’s market 🙂
We are overflowing with citrus from our trees, so I decided to use lemons for the acidic punch (I have a hard time making chicken without citrus.)
With brussel sprouts, balsamic, citrus, honey, and a smoky spice blend on our drumsticks. This dish will warm you up with all it’s roasted goodness!
This paprika/garlic spice mixture, or a variation of it, is my go to poultry seasoning. I just love what paprika does to the chicken flavor, and how it enhances the browning effect. I usually use smoked paprika.
I used shallots instead of onions for a more delicate flavor. There was already a lot of boldness going on in the dish, and I figured shallots might be a nice change from huge chunks of regular onion.
While it’s true that you don’t want to necessarily eat all the lemons, they look pretty on the plate, and they impart the BEST flavor to the brussel sprouts.
Taylor, not the biggest fan of the teensy cruciferous vegetables, told me last night that they were “The most flavorful brussel sprouts you’ve made” He wasn’t quite ready to say that he liked them, but he at least could acknowledge that they weren’t bland. 🙂

Ooooo, another way to make drumsticks. We keep a steady supply of them in our freezer!
I love how cheap they are!
Oh my gosh, if I had $700 to Amazon I’d go crazy in my wish list! 🙂 Lots of purses in there!
Oh man, tell me about it. My wish list is all camera stuff and books!
I am moving into a new house and need tons of household items.
How fun! Good luck with your move, and with the giveaway!
This is so fun! Your site just keeps getting better. If I won $700 at Amazon I would buy at least one Kitchen aid mixer! Either in Tangerine or Cobalt blue.
Hey Danielle! Thanks for the sweet comment! I love the tangerine mixer 🙂 That would be a great choice.
