Sweet & Spicy Chicken with Butternut Squash

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and spray a rimmed baking pan with cooking spray.

Step 2

Trim the chicken. Peel and cube your squash.

Step 3

Place the chicken & squash in a large bowl, and combine the olive oil, melted butter, brown sugar, and seasonings in a small bowl.

Step 4

Pour the seasoning mixture over the chicken & squash, then toss gently until everything is nicely coated.

Step 5

Arrange the chicken & squash in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, keeping the chicken skin-side up.

Step 6

Roast at 400 degrees for 40 minutes, or until chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees, stirring the squash halfway through.

Step 7

Serve your sweet & spicy chicken alongside the totally delectable, melt-in-your-mouth, deliciously caramelized butternut squash! (I topped mine with a bit of dried parsley for the photos, but that’s optional.)
