Chicken Skillet with Bacon Brussels Sprouts (Paleo, Whole30 + Keto)

This one pan chicken skillet with bacon brussels sprouts is refreshing and flavorful. It's great for a weeknight dinner with minimal effort.

Ingredients

  • 6 pieces bacon, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, (can sub bone in, skin on thighs)
  • 5 cups brussels sprouts, ends cut off and cut into slices
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 lemons, cut into slices

Instructions
 

  • Heat a cast iron skillet (or other oven safe pan) over medium heat.
  • Cook the diced bacon until it starts to brown and is just beginning to get crispy on the sides. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel lined plate.
  • While the bacon is cooking, chop your brussels sprouts into slices or thin rounds, slice your lemon into rounds. Chop up your garlic and rosemary also.
  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
  • Sprinkle the chicken with salt & pepper on either side. When the bacon is done, add garlic to cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently. 
  • Place chicken directly on top of the garlic to brown it on each side. It should just take about 5 minutes each side, depending on how thick your chicken breasts are.
  • Once the chicken is browned, add your brussels sprouts and rosemary into the skillet. Sprinkle the bacon on top. 
  • Season the pan with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Layer your slices of lemon on top of each piece of chicken.
  • Use an oven mitt and move your skillet to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, depending on the size of your chicken breasts, until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Serve and enjoy!
