🥘 Recipe of the Week: Sheet Pan Citrus-Glazed Chicken

This easy chicken recipe is an easy one-pan staple! Marinated thighs get roasted right alongside Brussels sprouts making it a low-effort meal with a very high reward. Reserve some of the marinade to brush over the chicken towards the end of baking. It makes a sweet, sticky, and downright irresistible glaze!
