Ingredients
1 Tbsp. light butter
(We used Smart Balance Butter & Canola Oil Blend.)
1 pound medium Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
2 large shallots, thinly sliced
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper, ground
6 Tbsp. unsalted chicken stock, divided
2 1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 tsp. honey
1 1/2 tsp. fresh thyme, chopped
1. Heat a non stick pan over medium high heat. Add the butter and melt. Then pour in the Brussels sprouts, turning the cut side down and cook for 2 minutes without stirring.
2. Add the shallots to the pan and toss or stir to combine. Cook for 2 more minutes.
3. Sprinkle salt and pepper over top. Add 4 tablespoons of chicken stock. Stir, then partially cover and cook for 3 more minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are crisp-tender.
4. Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of chicken stock, mustard and honey in a bowl. Stir it into the Brussels sprouts. Sprinkle thyme over the top and cook for 1 more minute, stirring well.
