Make

  1. Heat oven to 425F / 218C.
  2. Remove chicken from marinade (discard marinade) and toss in breading.
  3. Heat an oven-safe skillet with oil (portion for chicken) over medium heat. Add chicken, skin-side down, and cook on one side until skin is crisp, ~8 minutes.
  4. When chicken skin is crisp, turn chicken so the skin is facing up. Top each piece of chicken with a lemon slice.
  5. Transfer skillet with chicken to the oven and roast until it reaches 165F / 74C, ~ 20 minutes.
  6. While chicken is roasting, heat a second skillet or wok with oil (portion for hash) over medium-high heat. Add brussels sprouts and shallots and saute until sprouts turn bright green. Add water with a pinch of salt and cover with a lid. Steam until brussels sprouts are tender, 5 to 6 minutes.
  7. Remove lid from brussels sprouts and add in leftover sweet potatoes and vinegar. Saute everything together until vinegar is absorbed and vegetables are golden brown in spots.
  8. Season hash with some salt and pepper.
  9. Serve chicken with hash on the side. Enjoy!
