Roasted Butternut Chicken Recipe – One Dish Dinner

I should’ve taken a photo. This plant randomly popped up in our garden last spring and we let it grow… into a butternut squash that took over a good 1/3 of the garden and produced dozens of squash. So let’s just say my roasted butternut chicken recipe is a result of a bumper crop of squash!

Even after giving tons of squash away, I still have a lot left in the garage and was trying to figure out how to use it. We don’t really care for the typical soup, and only the boys and I like it roasted plain and buttered.

So I did what I normally do and found several recipes that looked kinda good, decided that chicken would be the meat part of our meal and started putting ingredients together. I tried taking a photo of all the ingredients, but since my recipe evolved as I went, a few things are still missing.

Butternut squash can be intimidating to cut. I suggest peeling it first, cutting off the ends, and then begin slicing it. Once you reach the seeded end, scoop out the seeds and continue slicing.

This roasted butternut chicken recipe is a one dish meal but it still dirtied up two dishes. While I wanted the veggie flavor to cook up into the chicken, I simply couldn’t imagine all the chicken grease in my veggies.

I compromised and baked both dishes alone for 45 minutes, enough time for the chicken grease to cook mostly out. Then transferred the chicken to the veggies to finish baking. Very tasty!

    Hi Kendra, Thanks for the recipe! This sounds wonderful. We like garlic, so I’all be using a bit of minced garlic. God bless you and all the family, Carol
    PS. My husband updated the IPad, and now there’s no problem reading the posts-not getting kicked off etc as I mentioned to you recently. It was the IPad and not the website. Yea!?
