Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 8 ounces Brussels sprouts trimmed and cut in half lengthwise
- ¾ cup chicken broth
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the Brussels sprouts, broth, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Bring to a simmer. Cover and cook until the Brussels sprouts are crisp tender, 7 to 10 minutes.
- Uncover and continue cooking until the sprouts are tender and the liquid has thickened slightly, about 3 to 5 minutes more. Add more salt and pepper to taste, if desired.
Notes
Braising will soften the Brussels sprouts so they are tender.
If the liquid is too thin at the end of cooking, it can be thickened by stirring in a little more butter.
