Brussels sprouts are at their best when they’re tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. This recipe gives a perfect sear to the brussels sprouts!

To reheat, you can either warm in the microwave (cook in 30 second increments until hot enough) or on the stove top. If you’re warming on the stove top, I recommend warming with a little bit of chicken broth so your chicken and veggies don’t get too dry. You also may want to cover the pan. Warm over medium low heat until heated through.

Ingredients
Blackened Chicken Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar monkfruit or brown sugar if not keto
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon EACH chili powder and Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon EACH onion powder garlic powder, garlic salt, pepper
Remaining Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 pound chicken breast cut into bite size pieces
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts cut in half
- 1/3 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar monkfruit or brown sugar if not keto

Instructions
Combine the blackening spices in a small bowl and set aside. Toss the chicken in the spices, but reserve 1 teaspoon of the spice mixture for the Brussels Sprouts.
Heat a large skillet to medium heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and the seasoned chicken. Make sure the chicken is in one layer and allow it to cook without moving around for at least 3 minutes. Using a tong, flip the chicken and cook an additional 3-4 minutes until cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet and place the sliced brussels cut side down. Sprinkle with the remaining seasoning. Cook the sprouts 5-6 minutes stirring occasionally, until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Remove the sprouts from the skillet.
Reduce the heat to low and add the chicken broth, scrape up all the brown bits at the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the garlic, monk fruit, and hot sauce. Allow the sauce to simmer until reduce by half. Add the butter and when melted, add the cooked chicken and sprouts to the skillet.
Toss the chicken and sprouts in the sauce and cook an additional 3-4 minutes until heated through.
