Roasted Butternut Squash and Chicken Skillet

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cubed
  • 1 small red onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and sauté the butternut squash, red onion, and garlic for 5 minutes until they start to soften.
  4. Add the thyme, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper, and stir to combine.
  5. Place the chicken breasts back into the skillet on top of the vegetables. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the butternut squash is tender.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.
