   PREP TIP:

   You may want to consider making extra toasted pecans to save as a topping for salads or desserts or as a quick snack.

2. Step 2:

   Season chicken thighs on all sides with thyme, salt, and pepper. Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Add the chicken thighs and cook until well browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate.

3. Step 3:

   Add Brussels sprouts, apple, onion, and garlic to the skillet. Cook, tossing occasionally, until Brussels sprouts are wilted and tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in balsamic and brown sugar. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Step 4:

   Return the chicken thighs to the skillet just until warmed through. Top with pecans and serve immediately.
