- •Rosemary, Fresh(30g)
- •Cinnamon, Ground(5g)
- •1 teaspoon kosher salt (divided)
- •1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper (divided)

Instructions
- 1Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Place in a large bowl or zip-top bag with 1½ tablespoons olive oil, the fresh garlic (minced), 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary (chopped), ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Toss or seal and shake until the chicken is evenly coated. Set aside at room temperature for 15 minutes, or refrigerate up to 1 day ahead.
- 2While the chicken marinates, chop the Brussels sprouts in half lengthwise, cut the sweet potato flesh into ¾-inch cubes, dice the onion into bite-sized pieces, and cut the Granny Smith apple into ¾-inch chunks.
- 3Heat 1½ tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, carefully arrange the marinated chicken breasts in a single layer and cook 6–8 minutes on the first side until golden brown. Flip and cook 5–7 minutes on the second side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and tent with foil to rest.
- 4In the same skillet, add the Brussels sprouts, sweet potato, onion, and apple. Sprinkle with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Toss to combine and cook over medium-high heat for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to caramelize and the Brussels sprouts are tender with golden edges.
- 5Return the rested chicken to the skillet, nestling it among the vegetables. Reduce heat to medium and cook 2–3 minutes to warm through and allow flavors to meld.
- 6Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary over the chicken and vegetables.
- 7Divide the chicken and roasted vegetables evenly into 4 airtight containers while hot. Cool to room temperature before sealing and refrigerating for up to 4 days.
