Baked Chicken with Butternut Squash and Potatoes

It's Tuesday! Yesterday was a typical get up and go type of Monday. There was a squash that needed to be used and that was all I knew. I had never had any type of squash besides Spaghetti squash so was a little intimidated but went for the gusto!

Best Monday night dinner decision every made in this household. I was blown away the moment I took it out of the oven. It was relatively easy but for the amount of flavor, it tasted gourmet and I was able to just toss it in the oven after slicing a bit.

  • 1 tsp. salt
  • cooking spray
  • 4-5 small russet potatoes
  • 1.5 c. cubed and peeled butternut squash
  • 2 Tbsp I Can't Believe it's Not Butter
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Combine 1.5 Tbsp. garlic, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. pepper, and 1/2 tsp. sage in a bowl. 



3. Coat chicken breast with sage mixture. Place in greased pan.
4. Combine potatoes, squash, butter, 1.5 tsp. garlic, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. pepper. Place around chicken breasts in pan.

It was paired with some rice and pasta but could be eaten alone easily!

Have a great day!

  1. Why don't I think to just bake the chicken while roasting my veggies--in the same pan?!? Less to clean up! :)

  2. I was at a girls' conference all day on Saturday and when I came home, my husband had made dinner and it looked almost identical to this! It really was so delicious!
