This One Pan Chicken with Pumpkin & Brussel Sprouts is the definition of a throw together meal. Perfect for nights when you’re short on time – you can rest assured this meal will nourish the entire family.
If brussel sprouts aren’t your favourite vegetable let us remind you of why they should be. They are part of the cruciferous vegetable family, a group of nutritional powerhouse plants which supply a heavy dose of antioxidants and nutrients that support detoxification of the liver. Brussel sprouts will also provide you with fibre to help maintain a healthy digestive system and vitamin C for immunity.
