12 oz Brussels sprouts, ends trimmed, yellow leaves removed
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Lemon Garlic Butter Chicken
1 lb chicken tenderloins, skinless, boneless
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
¼ teaspoon crushed red chili pepper flakes, or to taste
5 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions
Roasted Brussels Sprouts:
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, toss the Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange on the baking sheet, cut sides down.
Roast for about 20 minutes, until caramelized and tender.
Lemon Garlic Butter Chicken:
If chicken tenderloins are thick, slice them into strips. Season with smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken in a single layer for about 3 minutes, then flip and cook for 2 more minutes.
Reduce heat to low. Add Italian seasoning, chili flakes, garlic, lemon juice, and 3 tablespoons butter. Cook for 2 more minutes, stirring frequently.
Add roasted Brussels sprouts and the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Stir quickly to coat with the lemon garlic butter sauce. Remove from heat.
Stir in half the parsley and garnish with the remaining parsley upon serving.
