Mixing hot water and black rum equally, adding a little butter, brown sugar, and spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves to the mix. It has a mild bite from the rum and is smooth, sweet, and salty. party size for a budget.

Ingredients
- 4 slices bacon, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 8 small red potatoes, quartered
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken breast halves
Instructions
- Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until lightly browned but still soft, about 5 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
- Coat a large baking dish or cast iron skillet with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Arrange lemon slices in a single layer on the bottom of the baking dish.
- Stir remaining 5 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, kosher salt, and black pepper together in a large bowl.
- Toss Brussels sprouts in lemon juice mixture to coat; transfer to the prepared baking dish with a slotted spoon, draining excess liquid back into the bowl.
- Place bacon on top of the Brussels sprouts.
- Toss potatoes in the same lemon juice mixture used for the Brussels sprouts.
- Remove potatoes with slotted spoon and arrange along the inside edge of the baking dish.
- Coat chicken breast halves thoroughly in the remaining lemon mixture.
- Place chicken breasts skin-side up in the skillet; pour any remaining lemon juice mixture over chicken.
- Bake in the preheated oven until chicken no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 60 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Reviews
I wanted to try something new that would appeal to the entire family, from my 92 year old father to my 6 year old grandson. It was a hit! The only substitution I made was thighs rather than chicken breasts, because the store was out of breasts. The sliced lemons lining the bottom of the pan cooked down nicely and I just ate the rinds along with the brussels sprouts. Other reviews complained about the potatoes not cooking. I used baby red potatoes and cut them in half, making them cook fairly quickly. All in all, this dish was a success! I expect that it will become something of a regular at our house.
I used a navel orange instead of lemon. Also boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Added balsamic vinegar to marinade and baby carrots to veggies. Cast iron skillet in a 400 F oven 50 – 60 minutes.
We didn’t love this recipe. It wasn’t quite as flavorful as I had hoped, except for the lemon. It sounded really good but for us, this will be a pass in the future.
Flavor was just ok – wayyyyy too much EVOO
Great! It was a hit with everyone. Teenage grandson said it looked like random things put together, as he went for seconds. Awesome “random” things. Thank you
I followed the directions—almost , except I used 1 lb. of Brussels sprouts. It was dry, I would double the liquid part. Net time I’ll add some chicken broth. Also, I had rotisserie chicken from Costco and used that. Next time I’ll add the rotisserie chicken at the end just to heat it. Flavor was good. I’ll make it again.
I used thighs instead of breast, tasted great!
The dish tastes good, but prep time is not 15 min.
I tripled the oil lemon and garlic as I doubled the sprouts and potatoes. I also had very large chicken breasts. I did mine in a large glass pan. The bacon, lemon and garlic smells like heaven in my home. It was a family favorite and definitely had Greek undertones. Would pair well with nan bread and a glass of white wine.
Delicious, but needed a bit longer for potatoes to be done.
Family get together …oh yeah !
Too oily!! Won’t make it again.
Definitely tasty and a good recipe, but unfortunately the Brussels sprouts and potatoes burned to a crisp. Chicken was excellent, however. Wondering if I should have covered the pan?
I loved the tangy garlic taste! It went well with the chicken, sprouts and yams.
Delicious! I will definitely make this again. Only thing I changed was the chicken…I only had boneless, skinless breasts so I lowered the temp to 425 the last 15 minutes. Thank you!!
This was AMAZING!! I rarely cook bone-in chicken breasts so this was a little different for my family but it was such a hit! I doubled the “sauce” part and cooked extra sprouts and potatoes. The lemon slices cooked down so well my husband ate them along with the rest. Then I tried just making this for a potato/sprout side dish and it was good; but it didn’t have the depth of flavor as it did when I cooked it with the chicken and lemon slices. It’s a keeper!
This was excellent. I admit I was sceptical at first but I followed what “Mari” said plus added some seasoning. I used a cast iron skillet, cooked bacon and browned chicken in the bacon grease, then cooked the Brussels sprouts, potatoes and garlic. Scattered the lemon slices on top of the potato mixture and then put the chicken on top and sprinkled the bacon over the chicken. Covered with foil and baked for 40 minutes. Removed foil and cooked for 5 minutes. It was wonderful! The hubby loved it! Woohoo…score! Thank you
Less chicken, and garlic pepper instead of salt and pepper…was awesome…I love lemon,,,and this just did it for me…will for sure make it again
I made this almost exactly as written but cooked the bacon, and then the whole dish, in an electric cooker using bone-in skin-on leg quarters. Everyone Loved it! Will use more Brussels sprouts next time. A+
This was delicious! All three of my children enjoyed dinner tonight. 🙂
