One-Pan Baked Chicken, Sausage and Brussels Sprouts
This One-Pan Baked Chicken, Sausage and Brussels Sprouts dish combines bone-in chicken thighs and Italian sausage with tender roasted Brussels sprouts, shallots, and lemon slices. The chicken is rubbed with a savory paste made of garlic, Dijon mustard, honey, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, and olive oil. Roasting at high heat caramelizes the vegetables while cooking the meat to juicy perfection.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts 450g, trimmed and halved or quartered if very large
- 5 shallot peeled and quartered
- 1 lemon thinly sliced into rounds, seeds discarded
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 45ml, divided
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt divided
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper divided, freshly ground
- 3 garlic minced or grated, cloves
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 20ml
- 1 1/2 tablespoons honey 20ml
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 15ml
- 3 teaspoons rosemary from about 5 sprigs, fresh, chopped, needles
- 4 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs (about 1 1/2 pounds; 680g)
- 4 Italian sausage hot or sweet, cut into 2-inch lengths, large
Instructions
- Position rack in lower third of oven and preheat to 450°F (232°C).
- Combine Brussels sprouts, shallots, and lemon with 2 tablespoons (30ml) oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a 12-inch cast iron skillet. (Alternatively, you can use a rimmed baking sheet.)
- In a small bowl, combine garlic, mustard, honey, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, and remaining 1 tablespoon (15ml) oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, stirring to form a paste. Rub paste all over chicken. Nestle chicken and sausage pieces on top of Brussels sprouts.
- Roast on lower rack until Brussels sprouts are browned and tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of chicken without touching bone registers 165°F (74°C), 25 to 30 minutes. (If chicken and sausage are done before sprouts have browned enough, you can transfer the meat to a plate and let the vegetables finish in the oven; recombine before serving.) Serve.
