Pan Roasted Chicken and Brussels Sprouts
with lemon-aminos-balsamic marinade
The flavorful and versatile marinade in this recipe made the entire one pan dish a big hit when it was first featured in a meal plan in December 2014. It's a great fit for colder weather, so we wanted to bring it back this year!
