This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was overcooked and the squash was mushy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

The chicken was a little dry, but the squash was delicious. I think I'll try brining the chicken next time.

This dish was easy to make and turned out great. The chicken was moist and flavorful. The squash was roasted beautifully. I will definitely be making this again.

I've made this recipe several times now, and it's always a winner. The chicken is always cooked perfectly, and the squash is delicious. I love that it's a one-pan meal, so cleanup is a breeze.

This recipe was a hit with my family! The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the acorn squash was roasted to perfection. I loved the combination of sweet and savory flavors.
