Instructions

  1. 1Roast Sprouts — Preheat oven to 400F. Toss halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil salt and pepper. Roast on a sheet pan until crispy approximately 20-25 minutes.
  2. 2Sear Chicken — Season chicken with salt and pepper. Sear in a pan with sun-dried tomato oil until cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. 3Make Sauce — In the same pan saute garlic then deglaze with white wine. Add broth cream mustard and sun-dried tomatoes. Simmer until thickened then stir in parmesan.
  4. 4Combine and Garnish — Return chicken to the pan to coat with sauce. Portion into 6 containers with roasted sprouts and top with fresh basil leaves.

Tom's Notes

  • Sauce Consistency — Ensure the parmesan is very finely shredded. It melts more uniformly into the heavy cream base creating a smooth consistent sauce.
  • Brussels Sprout Roasting — Roasting the sprouts separately on a sheet pan ensures they achieve a caramelized crispy exterior that contrasts perfectly with the creamy chicken sauce.

Freeze

Freeze chicken and sauce only — do not freeze Brussels sprouts as they lose texture

Reheat

Microwave covered 2-3 minutes. Add fresh basil leaves after reheating
