Tips

Good to Know
Leftover cooked chicken and Brussels sprouts keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Prepare the herb seasoning mixture in advance and store in an airtight container. The chicken must remain frozen until cooking.
Serve immediately while warm. Pairs well with rice, pasta, or crusty bread.
Common Mistakes
Do not thaw the chicken beforehand to avoid uneven cooking and food safety issues.
Do not skip flipping the chicken halfway through to avoid uneven browning.
Do not cook beyond 165°F internal temperature to avoid dry meat.
