Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. • Trim and halve Brussels sprouts lengthwise. Peel and mince or grate garlic. Halve baguette lengthwise. Pick rosemary leaves from stems; mince leaves until you have 1 tsp (2 tsp for 4 servings).
• Toss Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange cut sides down. • Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 18-22 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pat chicken* dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. • Turn off heat; transfer chicken to a cutting board to rest.
• Meanwhile, place 2 TBSP butter (3 TBSP for 4 servings) and half the garlic in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until butter is slightly softened, 10 seconds. • Spread garlic butter onto cut sides of baguette halves; season with salt and pepper. • When Brussels sprouts have 3-5 minutes left, remove sheet from oven. Add baguette halves, cut sides up, to same sheet; toast in oven until bread is golden brown.
• Heat pan used for chicken over medium heat. Add a drizzle of oil, minced rosemary, and remaining garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Stir in vinegar; simmer until syrupy, 30 seconds. • Stir in stock concentrates, ¼ cup water, and ½ tsp sugar. (For 4 servings, use 1⁄3 cup water and 1 tsp sugar.) Simmer until thickened, 3-5 minutes. • Remove from heat and stir in 1 TBSP butter until melted. Season with salt and pepper.
• Thinly slice chicken crosswise. • Divide chicken, Brussels sprouts, and garlic bread between plates. Drizzle chicken with sauce and serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
This was AMAZING. The chicken was tender, and the balsamic glaze was EASY and BURSTING with FLAVOR! I did not eat the bread in the name of keeping it lower carb, but MAN! I sure wanted to. It looked like good quality bread.
This was a perfect quick easy recipe to do after a very long day. Brussel sprouts and baguettes cooked/toasted up in the oven. Chicken cooked great on stove. Balsamic sauce came out perfect!
YUM! The brussels sprouts are simple but flavorful. The Balsamic glaze is soooo good. The garlic bread is a nice touch and not something we have often, so a nice treat
The chicken was so juicy and the brussel sprouts were delicious. Even the garlic bread was a big hit with everyone!
The brussel sprouts could use more seasoning (something more exciting than just salt and pepper), and the rosemary flavor gets lost in the big flavors of the balsamic sauce. Otherwise, a wonderful meal! The garlic bread was perfectly buttery, and the chicken was super juicy.
I like the fresh garlic for the bread. I'm a fan of brussel sprouts, I added my own seasoning blend to them. The balsamic and chicken were good too.
The chicken and brussels sprouts are amazing, coupled with the balsamic sauce. I would have preferred another vegetable over garlic bread though.
I liked the roasting of the brussels sprouts, some of the timing of the cooking was tricky though. Not an easy mid-week meal to cook (way more than the advertised 35 mins - it takes 15 minutes just to slice the sprouts!)
Bravo!! Brussel sprouts were over-cooked in my case, even though I pulled them out and had them sitting covered while waiting for the chicken and sauce... rethink timing?
Liked the chicken and the sauce a LOT. Loved the charred sprouts. Though the bread tasted good, I'm not a fan of bread as a side. I would have preferred extra sprouts.
