Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 200 grams
• Brussels sprouts - 200 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Tahini - 1 tablespoon
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Honey - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half. In a bowl, toss Brussels sprouts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
3. Spread the Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until they are golden and tender.
4. While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
5. Cook the chicken breast for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, and honey to create the dressing.
7. Once the Brussels sprouts are done roasting, combine them in a bowl with the sliced chicken and drizzle the tahini dressing over the top.
8. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
