Step 1

Preheat the Oven: Set the oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it's preheated before adding the chicken and Brussels sprouts.

Step 2

Cut the Chicken: Dice the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. This ensures even cooking and allows the chicken to absorb the flavors effectively.

Step 3

Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and halve them lengthwise. Uniform slicing ensures even roasting and a visually appealing presentation.

Step 4

Make the Honey Garlic Marinade: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Marinate the Chicken: Add the cut chicken pieces to the honey garlic marinade and toss well to coat evenly. The marinade will infuse the chicken with flavor and tenderness.

Step 6

Roast the Chicken and Brussels Sprouts: Spread the marinated chicken and halved Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Ensure the ingredients are not overcrowded to allow for proper air circulation and even cooking.

Step 7

Bake in Preheated Oven: Place the baking sheet with the chicken and Brussels sprouts in the preheated oven. Roast for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the Brussels sprouts are tender-crisp.

Step 8

Check for Doneness: After 20 minutes, check the internal temperature of the chicken using a meat thermometer. It should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure it's fully cooked.

Step 9

Observe Brussels Sprouts: Keep an eye on the Brussels sprouts during the last 5 minutes of cooking. They should be caramelized around the edges and slightly softened but still retain a slight bite.

Step 10

Remove from Oven: Once the chicken and Brussels sprouts are cooked through, remove the baking sheet from the oven.

Step 11

Serve immediately.
