Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F.Wash and dry all produce. Strip 1 tbsp thyme leaves (dbl for 4 ppl) from stems. Halve, then thinly slice Brussels sprouts. Peel, then quarter onion. Separate onion petals. Peel, then mince or grate garlic. Pat chicken dry with paper towels, then season with garlic salt, pepper and thyme.
Add onions, squash and 2 tsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine. Roast veggies in the middle of the oven until the squash is tender, 12-15 min.
While veggies roast, heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then chicken. Sear until chicken is golden-brown, 2-3 min per side. Transfer to another baking sheet. Bake in the top of the oven until chicken is cooked through, 10-12 min.** Carefully wipe the pan clean.
Reheat the same pan over medium heat. Add almonds to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden-brown, 4-5 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!) Transfer to a plate. Set aside.
Return the same pan to medium. Add 2 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl), then swirl to melt. Add Brussels sprouts and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally , until Brussels sprouts are tender, 2-3 min. Add sour cream and 1/4 cup milk (dbl for 4 ppl). Cook, stirring often, until mixture thickens slightly, 1-2 min. Season with salt and pepper.
Slice chicken. Divide creamed Brussels sprouts between plates. Top with roasted veggies and chicken. Sprinkle almonds over top.
