Clean eating made in 35 minutes? I say serve it up! This Chicken with Brussels Sprouts and Mustard Sauce is a perfect mid-week dinner where chicken shares center stage. Protein doesn’t always have to be the main attraction, here vegetables and big time flavor are.

This killer recipe is one I adapted from Cooking Light and is made with some homemade whole grain mustard, which reminds me I need to make a new batch, but that’s another story.

Instead of roasting the vegetables completely on their own I made sure to try and keep this a one pan meal. The potatoes and brussels sprouts get a quick blanching in the microwave to cut down on time, and to say this sauce is delicious would be an understatement.

Here I use frozen chicken tenders from Costco, but feel free to use what ever chicken pieces you prefer. Just remember if using bone in chicken, the cooking time will change. I made this with boneless chicken.

This is a meal that uses fresh seasonal vegetables like butternut squash, red potatoes and brussels sprouts to make this a balanced meal.  The pan roasted chicken gets a dose of apple cider, chicken broth and whole grain mustard to bump up the flavor. I could have the sauce poured over a baked potato alone and be happy.

Plus, this comes together in 35 minutes. Sound good to you? It did us, and it satisfies on the flavor level besides being a simple dish to pull together when time is an issue after a hard day. Enjoy!

    So, just wanted to say thanks. I’ve made your recipe countless times since I pinned it 2 yrs ago. I sometimes change up the protein (tonight it’s pork) and sub a few things (ie sweet potato for squash today), but it always turns out. And the picky kiddlettes always gobble it up with no leftovers (even though I doubled it tonight – teenagers 🙄)
    Thanks again.
