Instructions
Heat coconut oil in a medium skillet over medium high heat. Once hot, add chicken.

I think this is my favorite out of all of your recipes! Lemon and thyme is such a great flavor combination, and the Brussels sprouts are so satisfying to chew. This dish totally hits the spot.
I doubled the lemon zest (because I believe you can never have too much lemon zest!), and added just a few sprinkles of celery salt to the chicken before cooking it… this was the perfect complement to the flavor profile of the dish.
Perfect lunch meal! I chickened out and used apple instead of pear, I was afraid I may possibly gain or stall using the pear.
I also tried it as a cold salad. Chopping the Brussels sprouts up pretty good, mixing in the mustard, and drizzling the balsamic over. It was convenient for being out and about.
Yes totally fine sub! I actually plan on having my team and I go through all the recipes and making notations of how to make the recipe more “SP – strict protocol” for those who are doing that so they can still utilize the recipe. Glad it worked cold too- thanks for commenting! I really appreciate hearing your guys feedback on these- it can get lonely over here just making and shooting recipes all by my lonesome lol.

I’m glad! It was one of my favorites so far as well for some reason. Thanks for sharing – love the additions you made!
