Preparation
Mise en place
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Halve the Brussels sprouts lengthwise (quarter if large).
- Pick the rosemary leaves off the stems; roughly chop the leaves.
- Grate the garlic.
- Halve the lemon; juice ½ and quarter the remaining ½.
Roast the Brussels sprouts
- On a lined sheet pan, toss the Brussels sprouts with a generous drizzle of oil, ⅓ of the spices and S&P.
- Arrange, cut-sides down, and roast, 12 to 14 min., until golden brown and tender.
Cook the chicken
- Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry; season with the remaining spices and S&P.
- In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the chicken* and cook, partially covered, 6 to 8 min. on one side, until partially cooked.
- Flip and add ⅓ of the rosemary. Cook, partially covered, 6 to 8 min., until cooked through.
- Transfer to a cutting board, leaving any browned bits in the pan. Reserve the pan. Let rest before slicing.
Make the sauce
- In the reserved pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium.
- Add the garlic and remaining rosemary. Sauté, scraping up any browned bits, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant.
- Add the demi-glace, cream, lemon juice (start with ½) and ¼ cup water (double for 4 portions); bring to a boil.
- Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 min., until slightly thickened.
- Off the heat, add 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions); stir well.
Plate your dish
- Divide the Brussels sprouts and chicken between your plates.
- Spoon the sauce over the chicken.
- Garnish with the lemon wedges. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
