• servings: 6 servings
• active time: 25 minutes
• total time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

1 ½ lbs chicken breast

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

1/3 cup olive oil

Juice of 1/2 lemon

2 cloves garlic (crushed)

1/4 cup chopped rosemary

10 oz brussel sprouts (stem cut off and cut in half)

2 apples (cored, peeled, and chopped)

6 slices of bacon (chopped)

Salt + Pepper to taste

Directions

Cut your chicken breast into smaller chunks or pieces. Set aside.

Make your marinade by blending balsamic vinegar, oil, lemon, and garlic. While motor is running, add chopped rosemary. Continue blending for at least 1 minute or until rosemary is well incorporated. Place chicken into a bowl or container with marinade. Marinade for at least 5 minutes, but up to 12 hours.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a large sheet pan with foil. Place brussel sprouts, apples, and bacon on the sheet. Add chicken. Brush any reserved marinade over sprouts and apples.

Bake for 15 minutes (depending on thickness of chicken). Bump up the oven to 425 degrees, and cook for another 5 - 10 minutes of cooking to get everything extra crispy!

Remove from oven and serve immediately. Salt and pepper to taste.
