Recipe by Anna Watson Carl This chicken dinner gets a kick from loads of fresh herbs and a zesty Brussels sprouts slaw.

Ingredients

5 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts
kosher salt
Black pepper
6 cloves garlic, smashed
1 small lemon, thinly sliced
6 sprigs rosemary
1/2 c. chicken stock
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1 lb. Brussels sprouts, thinly sliced
1/4 c. grated Parmesan

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper. Sear chicken breasts, skin-side down, for 4 to 5 minutes to create a nice, golden crust. Flip chicken breasts and add garlic, lemons, and rosemary to pan (place in oil so they can crisp up a bit as well). Cook for another 3 minutes.
Add chicken stock and place skillet in the oven. Roast for 15 to 18 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers a 165 degree F internal temperature at deepest part of breast. Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice and remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. In a large bowl, toss together Brussels sprouts, lemon vinaigrette, and Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve chicken with roasted lemons, garlic, and rosemary and Brussels sprout slaw.
