Honey Molasses Chicken with Brussels Sprouts.
Honey molasses chicken with Brussels sprouts is a flavorful, complete dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast chopped into bite-sized pieces
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- ½ pound Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup low-sodium chicken stock
- ¼cup orange juice
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 2 tsp sriracha
- 2 tsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tbsp molasses
- 1 garlic clove- minced or grated
- 1 tsp fresh ginger minced or grated
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- rice for serving
- sesame seeds for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Prep a sheet pan with parchment paper or cooking spray.
- Add the chicken, flour and black pepper to a bowl. Toss to combine, make sure the flour coats all surfaces of the chicken pieces.
- Place the chicken on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil. Add the Brussels sprouts to the other side of the pan and toss with salt and pepper, and olive oil. Bake for 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
- Combine the soy sauce, orange juice, honey, balsamic vinegar, apple cider vinegar, molasses, garlic, ginger, and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Set over medium heat and bring the sauce to a heavy simmer. Simmer until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Pour half the sauce over the chicken, tossing to combine. Toss the sprouts and add a bit of oil if they look dry. Return everything to the oven for 3 minutes, until the sauce coats the chicken. You will want to watch the sauce closely as it can burn.
- Serve the chicken and sauce over rice topped with sesame seeds and the Brussels sprouts on the side.
