Mediterranean Diet Friendly Paleo Balsamic Chicken with Brussels Sprouts

Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs get a deep golden sear before roasting alongside Brussels sprouts in a glossy balsamic-honey glaze brightened with Dijon, garlic, and thyme. Everything cooks in one skillet, so the sprouts caramelize at the edges while soaking up all that savory-sweet pan drippings and glaze. Avocado oil keeps the sear clean and light, letting the vinegar and honey reduction do the real flavor work as it roasts. A scatter of fresh parsley at the end adds a bright, herby finish that ties the whole dish together. It's a produce-forward, olive-oil-friendly kind of dinner built on lean protein, plenty of vegetables, and simple aromatics — the exact balance that makes it a genuinely solid fit for a Mediterranean-style table. Serve it straight from the skillet for an easy, weeknight-friendly meal that still feels a little special.
