Honey Balsamic Chicken and Brussels Sprouts Sheet Pan

 I’ve recently figured out that I have no self control around food, and that I need help to lose weight. I’ve joined Weight Watchers and Bob’s Gym. The current Weight Watchers plan uses Smart Points. I’m way over my smart point budget most days so far, but I’m starting to figure it out and cut back. This recipe is one I found through Pinterest and modified, and it’s pretty low in smart points. It’s also pretty tasty and used up some Brussels sprouts I needed to use up.

INGREDIENTS

2 half chicken breasts, split/filleted to less than 1” thickness

1 pound Brussels sprouts, split lengthwise

2 Tbsp olive oil

1 tsp Italian seasoning

Salt & pepper

Honey/Balsamic Glaze

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

2 Tbsp honey

Dash garlic powder

Dash salt

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In large bowl, mix together chicken breasts, Brussels sprouts, olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Spread out on baking sheet. Baking 10 minutes, flip everything, bake additional 10 minutes. Change oven to broil and broil about 5 minutes. 

While chicken and sprouts are cooking, make glaze. Place Balsamic vinegar in small saucepan and cook for about 5 minutes, or until reduced to 1/4 cup. Add honey, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well.

Drizzle glaze over chicken and sprouts before serving.
