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.
