4 bone-in, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 1/2 pounds)

I'm not sure what went wrong, but this dish did not turn out well. The chicken was tough and the squash was mushy. I would not make this recipe again.

This dish was a disaster! The chicken was raw and the squash was burnt. I would not recommend this recipe.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the squash was delicious. I would try this recipe again, but I would cook the chicken for a shorter amount of time.

This dish was a little bland for my taste. I would add more herbs and spices next time.

I'm not a big fan of squash, but this dish was surprisingly good. The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the squash was roasted to perfection. I would definitely make this dish again.
