Whole 30 Whole30 Bacon Brussels Sprouts Skillet with Chicken

Crispy-skinned chicken thighs, caramelized Brussels sprouts, and smoky bacon all come together in one skillet for a dinner that feels indulgent but checks every clean-eating box. The key to making this work is the layering of fat and flavor — the bacon renders first, then the chicken sears in that same pan, and the Brussels sprouts pick up all those golden bits before everything finishes together in the oven. Sugar-free uncured bacon is the detail that matters most here, since conventional bacon often sneaks in sweeteners that would knock a dish like this out of compliance. A splash of chicken broth and fresh lemon juice deglaze the pan and keep the vegetables from drying out, adding brightness without any off-limits ingredients. Fresh thyme and garlic round out the aromatics, making the whole skillet smell absolutely incredible as it roasts. This recipe serves four, so it's a solid weeknight option that doesn't require any side dishes — everything you need is already in the pan.
