Tips:

  • Make sure your chicken is properly cooked. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) to ensure that it is safe to eat. You can check the temperature using a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too much squash to the pan, it will not cook evenly. Make sure there is enough space between the pieces of squash so that they can brown properly.
  • Season the chicken and squash generously. This will help to bring out the flavor of the dish. You can use a variety of herbs and spices, such as rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Roast the chicken and squash at a high temperature. This will help to caramelize the squash and give the chicken a crispy skin. The ideal temperature is 425°F (220°C).
  • Keep an eye on the chicken and squash while it is roasting. You don't want the squash to burn or the chicken to overcook. Roast the chicken for about 20 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Roast the squash for about 30 minutes, or until it is tender.

Conclusion:

This herbed chicken and squash recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the squash is roasted to perfection. This dish is also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. Serve it with a side of rice or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
