Maple Dijon Chicken Thighs with Brussels Sprouts

  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Description

A forgiving, juicy one-pan weeknight dinner featuring crispy skin-on chicken thighs and roasted Brussels sprouts in a sweet and savory maple Dijon glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup real maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of oil. Place chicken skin-side down and sear for 4-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Add halved Brussels sprouts to the same skillet and sauté for 5 minutes until they start to brown.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and minced garlic until smooth.
  5. Return chicken to the skillet skin-side up. Pour the sauce over the chicken and around the sprouts. Add butter.
  6. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover with a lid or foil, and simmer for 10-12 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  7. Remove lid. If sauce is too thin, simmer uncovered for 2 more minutes. Spoon glaze over chicken and sprouts. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

Use real maple syrup, not pancake syrup. Bone-in, skin-on thighs are recommended for juiciness and crispy skin. If using a sheet pan, roast sprouts at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes while searing chicken. Do not freeze as Brussels sprouts become watery upon thawing.
