- Ensure the chicken breast is evenly sized to promote even cooking. If necessary, pound the chicken to an even thickness.
- Cut the Brussels sprouts in half or quarters to ensure they cook thoroughly and evenly in the microwave.
- Use a microwave-safe dish with a lid or cover it with microwave-safe plastic wrap to keep the moisture in and cook the chicken and Brussels sprouts evenly.
- Stirring halfway through cooking can help distribute the lemon juice, cheese, and almonds more evenly.
- If you prefer a bit more browning or crispiness for your chicken and Brussels sprouts, you can finish them off under the broiler for a couple of minutes after microwaving.
