Prep: 10 Cook: 35

• 8oz Brussels Sprouts
• 1lemon
• 2tsp garlic powder
• 2tsp onion powder
• 2tsp paprika
• 1red onion
• 6oz carrots
• 10oz chicken cutlets
• 1tsp dried thyme
• 1oz chicken stock concentrate
• 1TBS cranberry jam
• 2tsp olive oil
• 1tsp cooking oil
• ¼tsp sugar
• 1TBS butter

Prep:

Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425°F. Trim and halve Brussels sprouts lengthwise. Halve, peel, and cut onion into ½-inch-thick wedges. Trim, peel, and cut carrots on a diagonal into ½-inch-thick pieces. Quarter lemon.

Roast veggies:

Toss Brussels sprouts, onion, and carrots on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange Brussels sprouts cut side down. Roast on top rack until golden-brown and tender, 20-22 minutes.

Season chicken:

Make chicken seasoning by mixing 2 tsp each garlic powder, onion powder, paprika in a small dish.

Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season all over with salt, and pepper, chicken seasoning and ¼ tsp thyme.

Cook chicken:

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 6- to 8-minutes per side.

Tip: If chicken is on the thicker side, reduce heat to low, cook 2- to 3-minutes more per side. Turn off heat, transfer chicken to a cutting board to rest. Wash out pan, let cool 1 minute.

Make pan sauce:

Return pan to medium-high heat, add chicken stock concentrate, jam, ½ cup water, ¼ tsp thyme, and ¼ tsp sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened, 2- to 3-minutes. Turn off heat. Stir in 1 TBS butter and juice from one lemon wedge.

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add another squeeze of lemon juice if desired.

Finish & serve:

Slice chicken crosswise. Divide chicken and veggies between plates. Drizzle chicken with as much pan sauce as you like. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.
