  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium sweet potato, diced
  • 2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 1 apple, cored and sliced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Season the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary, then add them to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add onions and garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add diced sweet potato and Brussels sprouts to the skillet. Cook for about 8-10 minutes until they begin to soften.
  5. Stir in the apple slices, chicken broth, and dried cranberries. Bring to a simmer.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the vegetables. Cover and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
  7. Top with chopped walnuts before serving.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • Feel free to substitute chicken thighs with chicken breasts if preferred.
  • This dish can be made in advance and reheated for leftovers.
