After eating so much over the Thanksgiving holiday I think that this healthy dish will counter balance the feast that we just had.
This dish is very similar to the one that I made a while ago, Chicken with Brussels Sprout, the difference is that I peeled the Brussels sprouts, blanched and added to the stir fried chicken. I have the feeling that the sprouts tasted nicer and less bitter. Maybe the kids will accept better when cooked this way.
This is very simple and great with a bowl of rice…not to mention that makes a great next day lunch.
Ingredients:
1 chicken breast, cut into small chunks
3-4 cloves of garlic
1 tablespoon soy sauce
½ tablespoon corn starch
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
½ lb Brussels sprouts peeled
Method:
Marinate the chicken with garlic, soy sauce, salt and pepper. Set aside. In the meantime blanch the sprouts. Make sure that you just blanch, otherwise it will be mush. Just before sautéing the chicken add the corn starch by coating slightly the chicken pieces.
In a wok, sauté the chicken in olive oil. Set aside once the chicken is fully cooked. In the same wok brown the onion, add the blanched peeled brussel sprouts. Mix gently and add the chicken back to the wok.
Stir gently and serve hot.
Did you know that Brussels sprouts contain high dietary fiber? Moreover, Brussels sprouts have more vitamin C than oranges, so four to six sprouts contain the adult daily requirement for vitamin C.
Thank you for stopping by Simple Recipes and have a great week!
Amazed by your patience to peel the brussels sprouts but it looks totally worth it. Have a great week!
I love brussels sprouts and peeling them seems different and a nice twist on the dish.
I’m with you… such a simple dish can make me very happy.
I like the idea of peeling the Brussels sprouts – I’ll definitely have to try that. And this is a great looking dish. Brussels sprouts work so well with soy sauce, that I know I’d like this. Thanks so much.
Dear Juliana,
I actually love peeling off the brussels sprouts leaves until the small little yellow core appears and just pop that in my mouth
This looks like a nice recipe and you have also inspired me to consider stir-frying the leaves with cubes of diced beef with black pepper to go with that bowl of steamed white rice.
I have a new fondness for Brussels sprouts, so this dish looks great!
I hear ya…though no complaints from me about the food! This looks fresh and healthy for sure.
I could always feel your passions for brussel sprouts, and again they are beautifully fried not to mentioned that they paired so nicely with the chicken.
A simple yet very flavoured dish that I love! MMMMM!
I hope you & your man celebrated a lovely ThanksGiving! xxx
I knew I loved brussel sprouts but now I have even more reason! This dish looks so satisfying. Can’t wait to try it. Came by from An Edible Mosaic. Happy to be here.
As a child, I turned up my nose at Brussels sprouts. Fortunately, as an adult, I can’t get enough of them. They go with pretty much anything. With chicken, they are divine.
I eat Brussels sprouts all the time but too lazy to peel them. This looks so nice.
A scrumptious combination! I really love the idea.
Cheers,
Rosa
This is my kind of food. Looks mouthwatering!
My husband really likes brussels sprouts so he’ll love this surprise!
These look so delicious, I could eat a plateful myself…
I’m not usually a fan of brussel sprouts but done this way I think I could be!

I love Brussels sprouts. This is a great way to cook them.
Lovely dish Juliana! And yes, we all could use some healthy meals to make up for our excesses last week. I hope you and your family had a lovely holiday!
Juliana, your dish looks absolutely delicious! I’m always amazed at how well you can transform a simple dish into something out of this world!
Lovely and the sprouts are cooked in perfection, not overcooked or undercooked. I can feel the crunch and the great taste.
This looks really great! More ways to use brussel sprouts! Yum.
looks tasty and love the Asian spin on it
I love the vibrant color of the brussels sprouts! What a healthy and tasty meal!
A healthy and beautiful salad my friend

Never thought of peeling the brussel sprouts and I even get bothered when they start to peeling off after I cut the bottom of core. Huh! I just keep peeling them instead. I love your easy dish like this. Looks yummy!
I’ve seen so many good brussel sprout recipes!
Ohh! Yum! This sounds fantastic! I am one of those people who loves brussel sprouts
i’ve often wondered why i should bother eating brussels sprouts–i didn’t realize they were so nutritious! this preparation looks delicious, juliana!
This is a wonderful way to serve this healthy vegetable.
this looks just as tasty as your previous brussel sprouts dish, even peeling it looks very inviting!
I have never liked brussel sprouts too much, but I’m guessing I’d like this recipe.
I love brussels sprouts any which way you can prepare them, so I’m sure this new technique would be delicious!
Ooooh! This is a great sneaky method for serving brussel sprouts
I’ve never peeled Brussels sprouts. What a gorgeous and very colourful dish. I’m sure the flavours are wonderful xx
Wonderful cold season dish, but with such bright, joyful colours!
I will buy some brussels sprouts and chicken the next time I go to the store. Yum!
I am adapting to the taste of brussel sprouts, i am sure I will like it with chicken. Have a good weekend!
I can’t seem to get enough brussels sprouts! I’ve never tried peeling them for a recipe though…
I love, love brussels sprouts and combined with chicken makes this dish even more appealing to me!
I’ve made this recipe twice — last week and today. It was delish! I was going to blog about it, but it time, I’ve been too hungry to stop and take a photo. LOL! I love Brussels Sprouts and plan on making this dish again. Perhaps, next time, I’ll succeed in being able to take a photo before I gooble the food up.
This is such a lovely dish! I like how you used the brussel sprouts leaves.
