Ingredients
Chicken
Butternut squash
  • 1 medium butternut squash peeled, seeded and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp. fresh rosemary finely chopped
  • 1-1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In medium bowl, combine Dijon mustard, maple syrup, olive oil, garlic powder, rosemary, and shallots. Stir until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Place in resealable plastic bag along with 3/4 of maple Dijon marinade. Shake and massage bag to fully coat chicken and set aside. (Note: Do not discard remaining marinade as it will be used as glaze.)

  5. On baking sheet, arrange squash in single layer, taking care to not overlap.
  6. Remove chicken thighs from bag and place on top of squash.
