This Chipotle Honey Roasted Chicken and Brussels Sprouts recipe are roasted on one sheet pan and everything is cooked together. All you have to do is cut off the ends of the Brussels, cut them in half, mix up the sauce and coat everything. Then you just wait for the oven. The chipotle honey sauce is sticky and spicy and savory and sweet at the same time.

Ingredients

Chipotle Honey Sauce

1/4 tsp. Salt
1 tbsp. Butter, melted
1 clove Garlic, grated
2 tbsp. Honey
2 tbsp. Adobo sauce
2 Chipotle in adobo, finely chopped

Pepper
Salt
1 tbsp. Butter
2 Chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
1 pound Brussels sprouts

Method

01

Set the oven to 450℉. While the oven warms, slice the stem ends of the brussels sprouts off and then cut them in half. Toss the halved sprouts into a bowl.
02

Make the sauce by mixing the chipotles themselves, the adobo sauce (this is the sauce the chipotles come in and we want both the sauce and the peppers), honey, garlic, melted butter, and salt.
03

Stir it up and give it a taste. If you want to add more salt, honey or chipotle go right ahead.
04

Cut the chicken breasts in half if you have a smaller appetite or are doing some portion control, otherwise, sprinkle salt and pepper all over the chicken breasts, then slather the outside of the breasts with about half the sauce, saving the rest.
05

Rub the sauce all over and place the chicken breasts on one half of the sheet pan.
06

Melt the remaining butter and pour the melted butter over the brussels sprouts. Generously season with salt and pepper.
07

Drizzle about a tablespoon of the chipotle honey sauce all over the Brussels and finally mix it all with your hands or a spoon. You should still have some sauce leftover for when the chicken comes out of the oven.
08

Tumble the brussels sprouts onto the other side of the sheet pan and spread out into an even layer.
09

Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the brussels sprouts are tender and some of the outside leaves have blackened.
10

While cooking you might get a bit of smoke as the honey burns on the edges of the sheet pan, but don't worry, it is just getting delicious.
11

To be 100% your chicken is cooked through you can use a meat thermometer. Stab the thermometer into the center of the thickest part of the meat and if it registers 165℉ you're good!
12

You can also cut into the meat to make sure, but 25 minutes at that heat should be good enough, and to avoid dry meat it's best to let the chicken rest a bit before cutting into it so you don't lose the juices.
13

Serve it up by piling plates high with brussels sprouts, then slice the chicken into a few pieces and lay it on top of the brussels sprouts pile. Drizzle the remaining sauce over the top and enjoy!
