Method
 

Prep Your Ingredients
  1. Rinse and halve the Brussels sprouts, trimming off any tough ends. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic and ginger finely.
Make the Honey-Garlic Sauce
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger.
Sauté the Brussels Sprouts
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add Brussels sprouts cut-side down and cook 5-7 minutes without stirring until caramelized. Stir and cook an additional 2-3 minutes until tender. Remove and set aside.
Cook the Chicken
  1. Add remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Season chicken with salt and pepper, add to skillet, and cook 6-8 minutes until browned and cooked through.
Combine and Simmer
  1. Return Brussels sprouts to skillet with chicken. Pour honey-garlic sauce over and toss to coat. Simmer 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens and glazes the ingredients.
Garnish and Serve
  1. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve immediately, alone or over rice or noodles.

Notes

  • Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce salt content without sacrificing flavor.
  • For a lighter version, use a non-stick spray instead of olive oil and substitute honey with a natural low-calorie sweetener.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat gently to maintain sauce texture.
