Instructions
-
Heat the oven to 425°F with a rack in the middle. Line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper.
-
Pat 12 ounces boneless skinless chicken thighs dry. Season both sides with 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt and set aside while preparing the vegetables.
-
Trim 12 ounces Brussels sprouts and halve them through the stem, quartering any especially large ones. Toss on the sheet pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Arrange cut-side down, leaving room for the chicken, and roast for 10 minutes.
-
Core 1 medium Cosmic Crisp apple, about 6 ounces, and cut into 8 wedges, leaving the skin on.
-
While the sprouts roast, make the rosemary coating by mixing:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 garlic cloves, finely grated
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Rub the rosemary coating over the salted chicken.
-
Remove the pan from the oven. Turn the sprouts, then add the apple wedges and coated chicken in a single layer, keeping the chicken flat rather than folded. Roast for 15 minutes.
-
Mix 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup with 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar. Brush this maple glaze over the chicken and apples. Roast for another 7–12 minutes, until the chicken reaches 175°F in its thickest part and the sprouts and apples are tender and browned.
-
Transfer the chicken to a plate and rest for 5 minutes. Divide the Brussels sprouts and apples between two dinner plates, add the chicken, and spoon the pan juices over each serving.
