Servings: 2

Ingredients:

3 tbsp. avocado oil, divided; plus more if necessary

Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved lengthwise

1 lb. chicken breast, diced into bite-sized pieces

To a large skillet, add 2 tbsp. avocado oil and Brussels sprouts with the cut side down, and cook over medium-high heat for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until seared and lightly golden brown. Toss and push brussels to the side of pan. Add remaining 1 tbsp. avocado oil (plus more if necessary) on bare side of the pan and add the chicken, shallots, salt, and pepper.
