Making the dish couldn’t be easier.
Just crisp up the bacon in a skillet and then saute the shallots in the bacon grease.
Add the Brussels sprouts to the pan and cook for a few minutes and then add the chicken broth.
Simmer the sprouts in the broth for a few minutes and then sprinkle the bacon over the top and serve.

Tips and Tidbits About Brussels Sprouts
I used fresh Brussels Sprouts when I made this dish. However, I think frozen would work just fine.
If you go the fresh route pick out sprouts that are on the small side. They will be more tender and will cook up faster.
In addition to the size, you want to pick out sprouts that seem heavy for their size and have tightly packed leaves.
Avoid brussels sprouts that have yellowing leaves or black spots. Yellowing indicates age and the black spots could be a sign of fungus.
