(One pan dinner or lunch!)
-4 cups chopped butternut squash
-2 chicken breasts
-1 cups feta cheese
-1/4 cups olive oil
-TBS Garlic minced
-1 table spoon fresh or dried rosemary
-teaspoon parsley
-1 tablespoon brown sugar
-teaspoon Italian seasoning
-teaspoon smoky paprika (preferred) regular paprika is fine
-salt and pepper (to taste)
1. Grease a 9x14 baking dish or cookie sheet and add butternut squash and drizzle with olive oil- bake at 375 F for 20 minutes
2. Once butternut squash is done (won’t be cooked all the way through quite yet)
3. Place chicken on top of squash and add the rosemary, garlic, Italian seasoning, parsley, salt and pepper to both the squash and chicken. Add smoky paprika to just the chicken. Add brown sugar to just the squash.
4. Place back in oven for another 35-40 minutes or until squash & chicken are cooked through. (If chicken is cooked and squash hasn’t completely taken chicken out so that your chicken doesn’t get dry!)
5. Finish by topping with feta cheese, this really brings out the flavor of the dish!
Note: you can add fresh parmersean if you feel like it but it isn’t completely necessary
Also don’t skip the feta in this, I feel it is such an important flavor enhancer and so yummy!
Enjoy!!
