2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar 1 tablespoon of dijon mustard 1.5 tablespoons of honey 4 tablespoons of olive oil divided 1 teaspoon of thyme 1 teaspoon of rosemary salt and pepper to taste 4 cloves of garlic pressed 2 chicken breasts trimmed and cut into 1" pieces 10 ounces of Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved 1 Granny Smith apple diced 2 cups of fresh cranberries 1 cup of instant brown rice 1.5 cups of liquid- either chicken broth or stock white wine, or water
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, half of the olive oil, the spices, honey, and garlic.
Put the prepared chicken into the bowl, tossing so the marinade coats it.
Cover and refrigerate the bowl for 30 minutes.
After the chicken has marinaded for 30 minutes, toss the halved brussels sprouts, cranberries, and diced apple with the chicken. Set it aside.
Put the remaining olive oil on the bottom of the skillet, coating it. Then add the rice and cooking liquid to the skillet.
Then pour the chicken mixture over the rice. Cover the skillet with foil.
Bake at 375 for 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven, let it set for 5 minutes, and enjoy!
