Chicken and Brussels Sprouts Sheet Pan Dinner With Bacon

Mimi Council
I love this simple dinner recipe, it is one we make often at my house! This Chicken and Brussels Sprouts Sheet Pan Dinner with Bacon is naturally gluten free, but you can easily add my Honey Butter Dinner Rolls if you want something more!

Equipment

  • Half Sheet Pan
  • Pastry Brush
  • Cast Iron Skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large sweet potato
  • 12 ounces Brussels sprouts
  • 2 teaspoons fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 tablespoons ghee (melted)
  • 8 ounces pork bacon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • Chop the sweet potato into 1-inch cubes. Trim Brussels sprouts and cut in half.
  • In a small dish, add the sea salt, black pepper, and poultry seasoning and mix together. Set aside.
  • Add chicken to a sheet pan and space it out evenly across the whole pan.
  • Using a pastry brush, brush the chicken breasts with the melted ghee.
  • Fill in the blank space on the baking sheet with the chopped Brussels and sweet potatoes. Brush the remaining ghee onto them as well.
  • Sprinkle the spice mix over the top of the chicken, Brussels, and sweet potatoes.
  • Bake for 25 minutes or until the chicken is 165°F internal temperature, then turn the oven to broil and broil for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown.
  • While the chicken is baking, add the bacon to your air fryer and cook at 400°F for 10 to 12 minutes or until crispy to your liking. Remove from the air fryer and chop into small pieces.
  • Remove the chicken from the oven, and sprinkle the bacon on top.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

Tips
  • Use chicken thighs instead of breasts if you prefer.
  • You can use EVOO or avocado oil in place of ghee.
  • Use any kind of potato you like.
  • Swap out veggies for ones you have in your fridge. Zucchini, bell peppers, squash, onions, or green beans would all be great!
  • Use your favorite seasoning mix in place of poultry seasoning.
  • When the sheet pan comes out of the oven, you can brush the extra ghee from the baking sheet onto the chicken for an extra golden-brown finish.
  • High Altitude — Bake at 425°F for 20 minutes, or until chicken is 165°F internal temperature, then turn the oven to broil and broil for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown.
