LEMONY CHICKEN + VEGETABLES

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper.

2. Add the chicken pieces to the sheet pan. Brush with half of the softened butter and season with sea salt and pepper.

3. In a large bowl, add the remaining butter, olive oil, lemon juice and red pepper flakes. Whisk to combine.

4. Add the brussels sprouts, butternut squash and red onion. Toss to coat.

5. Arrange the vegetable mixture around the chicken pieces. Top with lemon slices.
