As a mom of four who has been experimenting with different recipes lately, I am a fan of easy to make meals that do not require a lot of prep time. Chicken is always hit with my oldest three kiddos. I recently made a sheet pan meal with chicken, carrots, and Brussels sprouts that had a delicious maple blaze and maple pecans for crunch.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons of real maple syrup
- 4 teaspoons of olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 pound of carrots
- 1 pound of Brussels sprouts
- 1 pound of boneless chicken
- 1 cup of unsalted pecans
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425°.
- Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone liner.
- Combine 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and the rosemary in a small bowl.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper over the carrots and Brussels sprouts in a medium bowl. Toss to coat.
- Arrange the chicken on the lined baking sheet. Lightly salt and pepper the chicken.
- Arrange the seasoned vegetables around the chicken.
- Roast for 15 minutes.
- Turn the chicken and vegetables.
- Brush the chicken and vegetables with the maple syrup glaze.
- Roast for another 10 minutes.
- Crush the pecans.
- Combine the crushed pecans and 1 tablespoon of maple syrup in a bowl.
- Sprinkle the maple pecans on the chicken and vegetables.
- Roast for another 5 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°.
- Serve the maple-roasted pecan chicken with carrots and Brussels sprouts hot.
- Refrigerate any uneaten maple-roasted pecan chicken with carrots and Brussels sprouts.
