Ranch Flavored Brussel Sprouts And Chicken Sausage Recipes

RANCH-BAKED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH BACON, BRUSSELS SPROUTS, AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place chicken thighs in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Toss potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and garlic together with olive oil in a bowl until vegetables are lightly coated. Add vegetables around and between chicken thighs in the baking dish. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Evenly pour the entire packet of ranch seasoning over chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle chopped bacon on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Place the baking dish under the broiler and cook until chicken skin becomes golden brown and a bit crisp, 2 to 3 minutes

RANCH-FLAVORED BRUSSEL SPROUTS AND CHICKEN SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add olive oil to the pan along with the spices. Then toss in your brussel sprouts.
• Sprinkle some salt and pepper over the brussel sprouts and let them sit for a couple minutes until they begin to burn just a bit.
• Use a spoon or a flip of your wrist to turn the brussel sprouts over to cook on the other side.
• Once the brussel sprouts have been flipped, add in a few tablespoons of water and cover the pan with a lid. Keep an eye on them, being sure to move them around once more so the little guys don't stick to the pan.
• While the brussel sprouts finish cooking, add a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add your diced bacon to the pan. As soon as the fat begins to render out into the pan, add the sliced chicken sausage. Stir somewhat regularly for about 7 minutes.
• When your brussel sprouts are soft enough to stick a fork through, remove from heat, salt and pepper once more, then place in bowl.
• Top with your cooked bacon and sausage.
