1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Rub them with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Prepare the Brussels Sprouts: In a large bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on one side of a baking sheet and the Brussels sprouts on the other side.
Roast: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the skin is crispy. The Brussels sprouts should be golden brown and tender.
Serve: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy your high-protein, low-calorie meal!
