Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the Brussels sprouts evenly on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
- While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and lemon zest.
- Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin-side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
- Flip the chicken thighs and drizzle the lemon juice over them. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
- Serve the Lemon Herb Roasted Chicken alongside the Roasted Brussels sprouts for a delicious and satisfying lunch.
Service Suggestion

- Pair with a crisp white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc, to complement the flavors.
