Chicken and Brussels Sprouts Skillet
This dish just screams fall flavors. It also happens to be an easy, one-skillet recipe that’s ready in 15 minutes, making it perfect for busy weeknights. The chicken and Brussels sprouts simmer in a mixture of honey and balsamic vinegar, which keeps the chicken perfectly moist and allows the sprouts to steam to crisp-tender perfection. The recipe is naturally gluten-free and healthy. I’m a huge fan of balsamic anything, and the honey takes the edge off the balsamic. In order to really bring out the essence of fall, I generously seasoned the recipe with McCormick® Rosemary, Thyme, and Oregano. Rosemary reminds me of Thanksgiving, thyme is always great with poultry, and oregano rounds things out nicely. The crown jewels — the pomegranate arils (seeds) — are tangy yet sweet, and juicy, and are little flavor bombs that explode in your mouth. Their juiciness complements the chicken and sprouts so beautifully and they balance out the dish perfectly. It makes me want to add pom arils to all my recipes. Ready in just over 30 minutes, this honey balsamic chicken is perfect for meal prep and busy weeknights!
