Chicken Bacon Brussels Sprouts Skillet
Ingredients
  • 4 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs
  • 1 pound red potatoes, halved or quartered if large
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
  • cracked salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix
  • 6 slices bacon, chopped
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit or 200 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, position chicken thighs in a standard-sized baking dish measuring 9x13 inches.
3
To prepare the vegetables, combine diced potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and minced garlic in a bowl. Drizzle olive oil over the mixture until it is evenly coated.
4
Add the prepared vegetables around and between the chicken thighs in the baking dish. Season with a pinch of salt, pepper, and dried thyme.
5
Evenly distribute the entire contents of the ranch seasoning packet over the chicken and vegetables. Sprinkle chopped bacon pieces on top.
6
Bake the dish in the preheated oven until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit or 74 degrees Celsius, and the juices run clear. This should take between 30 to 35 minutes.
7
For added crispiness, set an oven rack approximately 6 inches away from the heat source. Preheat your oven's broiler and place the baking dish under it for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the chicken skin turns golden brown and crispy.
