Make
- Heat oven to 425F / 218C.
- Remove chicken from marinade (discard marinade) and toss in breading.
- 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.
- When chicken skin is crisp, turn chicken so the skin is facing up. Top each piece of chicken with a lemon slice.
- Transfer skillet with chicken to the oven and roast until it reaches 165F / 74C, ~ 20 minutes.
- 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.
- 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.
- Season hash with some salt and pepper.
- Serve chicken with hash on the side. Enjoy!
