Chicken Brussels Style

Ingredients

• 1 Tbs olive oil

• 1 lb chicken breasts without skin, uncooked, (about 4 pieces)

• 1 Tbs olive oil

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 large onions, thinly sliced

• 2 cups short-grain white rice, uncooked

• 1 tsp pepper

• 1 tsp cumin

• 4 cups chicken broth

• 1 lb fresh brussel sprouts

Brussels sprouts that is! A recipe for those who have always thought they didn’t like these succulent green orbs!

Directions

• Heat oil in a large deep oven proof skillet that has a tight fitting lid. Brown chicken pieces in hot oil, turning to brown on all sides. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Add the second Tbsp (15mL) of oil to the skillet and heat. Add garlic and onion and cook for 5 minutes, until onions are limp.
• Add rice to the skillet and cook, stirring for 2 minutes, until all the rice kernels are coated with oil. Add cumin, pepper, and chicken broth, and stir to combine. Add brussels sprouts and mix to distribute evenly.
• Flatten the rice with the back of a large spoon and place chicken pieces on top. Cover pan, and bake for 30 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.
• Serve a mound of rice and brussels sprouts with a piece of chicken.
