    Sheet Pan Lemon Chicken with Brussels Sprouts

    As a busy mom of two, I’m all about easy dinner wins. I really love using my instant pot and crockpot but sometimes my trusted sheet pan is all I need! Sheet pan dinners are easy, tasty, and I love that there is very little mess.

    This recipe calls for chicken thighs (if you have been ignoring chicken thighs, please stop!! They are so flavorful) but you can substitute chicken breast if that’s what you have on hand.

    • Sheet Pan Lemon Chicken with Brussels Sprouts

    Ingredients needed

    To make this recipe, you will need:

    • Olive oil: I recommend using extra virgin olive oil.
    • Lemon: You will need both the zest and juice of two large lemons.
    • Boneless and skinless chicken thighs: You will need about 1 ½ to 2 pounds which is usually 4 to 6 chicken thighs. You can also substitute 3 large chicken breast, if desired.
    • Brussels sprouts: You’ll need about 16 ounces (about one pound) of brussels sprouts, washed and halved.
    • Garlic: I recommend using fresh garlic, if possible.
    • Red pepper flakes, dried parsley, onion powder, salt and pepper: To season the chicken and brussels sprouts with.

    How to make

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

    Pour about one teaspoon of olive oil on your sheet pan to grease it.

    In a small bowl combine the parsley, red pepper, onion powder, minced garlic, salt and pepper. Mix well.

    Add the brussels sprouts and chicken to a large bowl. Pour the olive oil over them.

    Add the lemon juice and lemon zest to the bowl and toss well.

    Place the chicken and brussels sprouts on the sheet pan and then sprinkle the spice mix over them as evenly as possible.

    Garnish with leftover lemon slices.

    Bake in a preheated oven for 35-45 minutes (chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees). The chicken juices should run clear.

    Tips

    • Use fresh lemon zest and juice for the best results.
    • Preheat your oven completely before cooking.
