Ingredients
1 lb. chicken breasts1/2 onion, choppped3 cloves garlic, crushed1 cup chicken stock1 lemon, juicelemon zest from lemon1 lb. brussel sprouts2 tbsp. olive oilsalt and pepper to taste
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In large cast iron skillet (or oven proof skillet) heat 2 tbsp. olive oil on medium-high. Salt and pepper the chicken breasts and add to the skillet. Once you add them, don’t touch them. Let them brown 3 to 4 minutes per side. Then flip once and let them brown the same amount of time on the other side. Then remove from skillet. You will continue cooking them in the oven.
3. Turn the heat down to medium, and add chopped onions to the skillet. Let saute a few minutes then add the garlic.
4. Add brussel sprouts (I like to chop them in half) and let saute and begin to get nice color on them. Add 1 cup chicken stock and zest and juice of one lemon. Stir to combine.
5. Add chicken breast back to the pan moving them around until they are sunk into the bottom of the pan.
6. Place entire skillet in oven and bake 12-15 minutes depending on how large of a chicken breast. Once the juices run clear the chicken is done.

    I'm amazed how yummy this recipe was, I replaced garlic with garlic salt and I replaced chicken stock for chicken bullion and water and I used lemon pepper to season my chicken as well as salt and pepper. It was so good - 2/1/17
