Collapse ▲This week I picked up some fresh Lenoir County Brussels Sprouts, and they were surely deeeelicious!!! I admit, like many others, I used to be a Brussels sprouts hater, but once I discovered how many yummy ways there are to cook them, I have turned the corner and am now a Brussels sprouts lover!!
One of the last veggies to be harvested in early winter, Brussels sprouts bring the gardening year to a delicious close. They look like and taste much like a mini cabbage. They generally range from 1 to ½ inches in diameter. To cook and eat them, first wash each Brussels sprout and pat dry, removing any loose leaves. Then, trim the stem ends and make a shallow “X” in the sprouts; this allows the heat to penetrate more effectively and cook the veggies more evenly. Brussels sprouts should be cooked only for about 10 minutes until tender but still slightly crisp. Their color should remain intense; olive-drab sprouts have been overcooked. To check doneness, pierce the stem end with a fork―it should penetrate easily.

Brussels Sprouts with Fall Vegetables
| Ingredients |
|---|
| 1 tablespoon olive oil |
| 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into ½-inch cubes |
| 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided |
| ½ teaspoon black pepper |
| 4 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped |
| 3 cups Brussels sprouts, trimmed and quartered (about ¾ pound) |
| 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cut into ½ inch cubes (about 8 ounces) |
| 1 medium onion, chopped |
| 2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into ¾ inch cubes |
| 4 cloves garlic, minced (about 2 teaspoons) |
| 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme, or ½ teaspoon dried thyme |
| 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
| 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth, divided |
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large, nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, until hot and shimmering. Add the chicken, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, and black pepper. Cook until lightly browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to plate lined with paper towels.
- Reduce skillet heat to medium-low heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook until crisp and brown and the fat has rendered, about 8 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate (I simply laid another paper towel on top of the plate with the chicken, then stacked the bacon on that). Discard all but 1½ tablespoons bacon fat from the pan.
- Increase skillet heat back to medium-high heat. Add Brussels sprouts, sweet potato, onion, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender and the onions are beginning to look translucent, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the apples, garlic, thyme, and cinnamon. Cook 30 seconds, then pour in ½ cup of the broth. Bring to a boil and cook until evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add the reserved chicken and remaining ½ cup broth. Cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Stir in reserved bacon and serve warm.
