Instructions

1. Season chicken with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.

2. In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil and sear chicken until golden and cooked through. Let rest and slice thinly.

3. Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss sliced Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 15–20 minutes until crisp.

4. In a saucepan, melt butter and cook minced garlic until fragrant. Add heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

Use chicken thighs for a juicier bite.

Adjust hot honey based on heat preference.

Make Brussels chips in an air fryer for extra crispness.
