Ingredients
4 thighs and 4 drumsticks from the Sanderson Farms® Chicken Drumsticks & Thighs Combo Pack
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 Tablespoon unsalted butter
16 Brussels sprouts (about 8-ounces) bottom trimmed, outer leaves removed, and halved
2 cups ½" diced butternut squash
2 Tablespoons maple syrup
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 ½ cups low sodium chicken broth
Directions
- In a sauté pan large enough to hold the chicken in a single layer, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Add chicken to pan, skin side down and sauté for about 5 minutes per side or until chicken is browned. Remove chicken from pan and reserve. Pour drippings off.
- In same pan, add butter. Allow the butter to melt over medium heat. Add squash and sprouts to pan and sauté, tossing occasionally, until the outsides are golden brown, about 4 minutes. Remove from pan and hold separately from chicken.
- Turn heat to high and add stock, syrup and mustard. Stir and bring to a boil, stirring to scrape up the brown bits on the bottom of the pan.
- Add chicken back to the pan, cover, and reduce heat to medium low. Cook for 25 minutes or until chicken registers 190 degrees F with an instant read thermometer.
- Add vegetables back to pan, cover again, and cook for another 8 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Remove chicken and vegetables to a serving platter, placing vegetables around chicken.
- Turn heat to high and boil sauce until it is reduced and slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
- Spoon sauce over chicken and serve.
