How to cook with shaved Brussels Sprouts?
Ever since I started using my food processor to shave Brussels sprouts, I’ve been cooking with them a lot more often. Surprisingly my little guy loves Brussels sprouts and I initially made this One Pot Chicken Thighs With Brussels Sprouts for him.
All I did was to shave some Brussels sprouts in the food processor and cook them together with shallots and boneless skinless chicken thighs, then season the dish with salt, pepper, paprika.
If you are looking for ways to use more Brussels sprouts in your cooking, this recipe is great. It will even work great as a vegetarian side dish, if you decide to leave the chicken out and just cook the Brussels sprouts with shallots.
Brussels sprouts release a great flavor after cooking.
By shaving them, you ensure that they cook a lot faster, which makes them perfect for a quick and effortless meal.
I chose to use shallots in this One Pot Chicken Thighs With Brussels Sprouts Recipe, because of their flavor, but yellow onion could be substituted.

I love this idea, Mira – very unique!
It is surprising what the little ones like sometimes, isn’t it? Mine is going through a fussy phase – there’s a list of about 10 things he loves and everything else gets thrown on the floor!!!
P.S. Mira, I tried to leave a recipe rating but it won’t let me!
Thank you Helen! I’ll see what is going on with the rating 🙁
This tasted amazing!
came out great, and super easy, I added garlic before the chicken and yellow onions instead of shallot.
