Instructions

  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create the glaze.
  3. Place the chicken thighs in a large mixing bowl and coat them evenly with half of the balsamic glaze.
  4. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin side down, and sear for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Flip and sear the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  5. Remove the chicken thighs from the skillet and set them aside. Add the Brussels sprouts to the same skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are lightly caramelized.
  6. Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them among the Brussels sprouts. Brush the remaining balsamic glaze over the chicken.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the Brussels sprouts are tender.
  8. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves before serving.
