Ingredients
- 2 lbs Brussels sprouts
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme divided
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 6 lices raw bacon chopped
- 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare brussels sprouts by washing and slicing in half, lengthwise without trimming the bottom.
- Place the brussels sprouts in the bottom of a slow cooker.
- Pour the chicken broth over the brussels sprouts and top with 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, salt and pepper.
- Cover and cook for 2-3 hours on high.
- When it’s almost time to serve, cook bacon in a medium skillet until golden brown.
- Top the brussels sprouts with the cooked bacon, butter, lemon zest and lemon juice and remaining 1 teaspoon thyme. Gently toss and serve.
Notes
- The microwave makes these Brussels sprouts mushy when reheated. Stick to the stovetop or slow cooker to heat your leftovers.
- I find the brussels sprouts cook more evenly when sliced in half. If you want to leave them whole, you can. You will have to adjust the cooking times.
- The liquid left behind in the slow cooker is gold. I love using crusty bread to soak up all of the flavors.
- Don’t microwave leftovers. The microwave makes these Brussels sprouts mushy when reheated. Stick to the stovetop or slow cooker to heat your leftovers.
- Always slice the sprouts. I find the brussels sprouts cook more evenly when sliced in half. If you want to leave them whole, you can. You will have to adjust the cooking times.
