Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
  • 450 g (1 lb) Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 1½–2 tbsp harissa paste
  • 2 tsp honey
  • Juice of ⅓ lemon
  • Salt

Steps

  1. Make the glaze. Heat the oven to 400°F on convection. Mix 1 tbsp of the oil with the harissa, honey, lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
  2. Sear. Pat the chicken dry and season. Heat ½ tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high and sear 2–3 minutes per side.
  3. Glaze and pan up. Put the chicken on one sheet pan and brush with half the glaze. Toss the sprouts with the remaining oil and glaze and spread them cut-side down on a second pan.
  4. Roast. Roast both pans 20–25 minutes, flipping the sprouts halfway, until the chicken reaches 165°F.

Notes

  • Heat: harissa varies in strength; start with 1½ tbsp and taste the glaze.
