This chicken sauté recipe with Brussels sprouts is perfect for a quick and healthy dinner. Combining juicy chicken breast with crunchy Brussels sprouts, you get a dish full of flavor and nutrients. Here’s how to prepare it step by step for a perfect result every time.

Ingredients:
- 500 g chicken breast
- 400 g Brussels sprouts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar (optional)
- Fresh parsley for garnish

Step 1: Preparing the Chicken Breast
To have juicy chicken, I recommend starting by boiling the chicken breast. Place it in a pot with water, add a little salt, and let it boil for about 15 minutes until the meat is well cooked. Once boiled, remove it from the water and let it cool slightly, then cut it into cubes or strips.

Step 2: Preparing the Brussels Sprouts
Meanwhile, take care of the Brussels sprouts. Clean each piece by removing the damaged outer leaves. Trim the stems and blanch them in salted water for 5 minutes, just enough to soften them slightly while keeping a crunchy texture. After removing them from the water, rinse them under cold running water to stop the cooking process.

Step 3: Sautéing the Ingredients
In a large skillet, pour the olive oil and add the chopped garlic cloves. Sauté them over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until they turn golden, being careful not to burn them. Then add the boiled chicken cubes and the blanched Brussels sprouts. Sprinkle with sweet paprika, salt, and pepper to taste. Heat everything for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently to combine the flavors.

Step 4: Finishing the Dish
If you want a more intense flavor, you can add a teaspoon of balsamic vinegar in the last minutes of cooking. This will give a tangy note that perfectly complements the dish.

Step 5: Serving
Once the dish is ready, transfer it to a serving platter and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top for an extra touch of freshness and color. The chicken sauté with Brussels sprouts is served warm, perfect alongside a serving of mashed potatoes or a green salad.

Personal Suggestion:
For a delicious variation, you can add some toasted almonds or hazelnuts for extra crunch and flavor. You can also experiment with various spices, such as cumin or thyme, to customize this dish to your taste.

With this simple and quick recipe, you’ll be able to surprise your family or friends with a tasty and healthy dish. Enjoy your meal!
