Sheet pan meets smoker! This smoked chicken and brussels sprouts sheet pan dinner is a simple way to enjoy a smoked dinner any day of the week.

Smoked Dinner

Smoking delicious food is one of our favorite hobbies. We love coming up with new recipes to try and sharing them with the public to enjoy as well. One problem that I tend to have with the smoker is how long it takes to cook everything. Seriously. I have 4 kids, after school sports, a job, a house to take care of and endless piles of laundry. I’m not complaining – I am so thankful for everyone of those things! However, sometimes smoking my dinner just doesn’t happen because of time restraints.

That is what led us to create this seriously delicious smoked chicken and brussels sprouts recipe. I cook this dinner all the time in our oven but I really didn’t want to warm the house up with how hot it was outside. I decided to try cooking this on our Pit Boss Pellet Grill and man, it was amazing!

I cleaned up my chicken breast by trimming the fat. I prepped the brussels sprouts by trimming the ends and slicing in half. Then I seasoned everything, threw it on the smoker and hoped for the best. And the best is what I got!

How to Make Smoked Chicken and Brussels Sprouts

You are going to LOVE this recipe! Seriously. It’s so simple and delicious, it will quickly become a summer night go-to.

To begin, plug in your smoker. Once your smoker is lit, set the temperature to 350 degrees. While your smoker is heating up you should prepare your chicken breast and brussels sprouts.

Chicken Breast

Begin by trimming any fat off of your chicken breast. If your chicken has extremely uneven thickness you should beat the chicken breast to flatten. To do this simple place on a piece of plastic wrap. Make sure plastic wrap is large enough to fully enclose chicken. Using a mallet, beat the chicken breast until it flattens. Once you are satisfied with your chicken coat in olive oil and then season all sides. Place directly onto a sheet pan.

Brussels Sprouts

First of all, this post is the first time I’m realizing there is an s at the end of brussels for brussels sprouts.

To prep your sprouts rinse and then chop off the hard ends. Slice in half and place into a bowl. Once all sprouts are prepared, toss with olive oil. Then, season with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Place the sprouts on the sheet pan surrounding the chicken breast.

Place your sheet pan directly on smoker and let cook for 15 minutes. Flip the chicken breast and toss the sprouts and then allow to cook another 15 minutes or until chicken breast reaches 165 degrees.

Remove the sheet pan from your smoker and allow chicken breast to rest for about 5 minutes prior to serving.

What To Expect

This recipe specifically calls for McCormick Smokehouse Maple seasoning but you can use your favorite seasoning in its place. I highly suggest trying this seasoning though. It is definitely in our top 10 best seasonings.

The sprouts will flake slightly and get crunchy. This is my kids absolute favorite part. The sprouts will not be extremely tender so if that is how you like them you can try cooking them for 10 minutes before placing the chicken breast on the sheet pan. Just be sure to toss so that they do not burn.

We enjoyed this dinner with a side of rolls and it made everyone’s tummy happy!

Notes

Be sure to flip your chicken breast half way through to ensure even cooking.

If you like your brussels sprouts more tender, cook for an additional 10 minutes after removing chicken breast or before adding chicken breast to your sheet pan.

These seasonings can be switched to what ever you prefer! I highly suggest the seasonings we use but this can be adapted to fit what you have on hand.
