How to cook Brussel Sprouts

Brussels sprouts are at their best when they’re tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. This recipe gives a perfect sear to the brussels sprouts! If you need a simple side dish, try these Perfect Roasted Brussels Sprouts! For an amazing appetizer, consider making these Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts instead (you will LOVE the dipping sauce!).

How to Store and Reheat this Blackened Chicken and Brussels Sprouts Skillet

To store this keto dinner, pop into a plastic or glass container with an airtight lid and store in the fridge. This meal will stay fresh for up to four days. To reheat, you can either warm in the microwave (cook in 30 second increments until hot enough) or on the stove top. If you’re warming on the stove top, I recommend warming with a little bit of chicken broth so your chicken and veggies don’t get too dry. You also may want to cover the pan. Warm over medium low heat until heated through.
