I have a love hate relationship with Brussels sprouts. On the love side, they’re delicious in salads, or fried (but what isn’t delicious fried?)
I do hate them when they are steamed. Like, really, really hate them steamed. Not interested.
But you can throw them in a skillet, and they can turn out delicious if you get them good and browned. Which I am a big fan of. Especially since they are so good for you. When you can throw them in a skillet with some beans, shredded chicken and seasoning, and then end up with one pan to clean at the end? That is literally my favorite kind of meal.
This recipe is best made when you have chicken leftover from another meal. Or you can buy a rotisserie chicken and use that here too. If you decide to cook the chicken just for this dish, that’s a choice you make. But cook enough get two meals out of it, at least.
The seasoning in this is seriously simple. Citrus Salt & Pepper because you need those for just about everything, and my favorite blend of all time — Hot Roasted Garlic. It adds complex heat, garlic, and salt. It’s extra good, and it’s delicious on just about everything. Especially chickpeas and Brussels sprouts.
