Description

A comforting one-pan meal featuring juicy chicken, fragrant leeks, and sweet butternut squash, roasted to perfection.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or breasts
  • 2 leeks, sliced into half-moons
  • 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cubed
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Season the chicken generously with salt, pepper, and thyme.
  3. Slice the leeks and cube the butternut squash.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the leeks, butternut squash, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss until well-coated.
  5. Spread the veggies on a baking sheet and place the seasoned chicken on top.
  6. Roast for about 40-50 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are tender.
