I definitely think of it as a complete meal BUT farroto would be lovely with it. There are two in the WTC archives. Try making the asparagus one and just eliminate the asparagus since it's out of season and there's already plenty of veg from the squash.

This is one of my favorite recipes, EVER. Loving it on top of greens the rest of the week. Will definitely make again. Used feta cause that's what I had but bet I would have liked the goat cheese even more. Didn't have enough walnuts, so I roughly chopped almonds. That's what I love about your recipes- you make it seem OK to make subs, not like it's ruining the recipe. Makes it so accessible for this busy mom who used to love to cook.

That is truly my entire goal with WTC. Makes me so happy to hear it's working in your house 🥹🥰

No words! This was so incredible. Such an easy and tasty fall dinner. I absolutely love all of the different flavors and textures with this one! So looking forward to leftovers tomorrow too -- that's how you know it's a good recipe. :)

If I want my squash REALLY roasty and charred should I cook longer, either before or after the chx is added? Cook separate?

I hate to review because I did a ton of subs!! Craisens instead of dates, butternut squash and potatoes instead of squash. It was so great! 2, 3 and 8 year old approved ❤️

Just want to echo the other comments about how much this recipe name is really underselling it! I've made this I think three times now, most recently for friends and their kids. Used chicken tenders bc that's what I had (just reduced cooking time to 10 min). Added extra chicken and squash and even had leftovers. So easy and delicious!

Because we’re a family of ravenous monsters, we added instant couscous to this meal to stretch it - highly recommend!

I used a box of instant pine nut couscous from the Far East brand. Once everything was in the oven, and only had about 10 minutes left, I gave the bowl that was used to toss everything in the dressing a good wash. Then dumped in the couscous and seasonings, poured over boiling water from the kettle, topped it with a plate to let it steep.

Once the oven stuff was done, I sliced up the chicken, and poured it and all the other goodies from the sheet tray over the couscous (including the chickeny schmaltz) and it was heavenly!

Eating the leftovers now, and can confirm it reheats beautifully!

(There’s only two adults in this house, but we have big appetites. So this provided us with a huge portion each for dinner and a hefty lunch today.)

A favorite! If making this as a Thanksgiving side and omitting the chicken would you keep the same amount of spices?

What are your thoughts on Boursin instead of goat cheese?

Third time making this fabulous recipe! Minimal mess and tastes incredible.

This is SO FREAKING DELICIOUS. I loved it as a main, but I've loved it most as a leftover salad. I did exactly as Caro says - reheating the chicken/squash mixture for 30 seconds - then adding to arugula and pom seeds, with her apple cider vinaigrette. I'm obsessed! Best salad ever.

I made this last night with pistachios and cashews, grapes, and dried figs. It was so delicious that my husband suggested I make it when his family comes to visit in a month! In 8+ years of marriage, this is the first time it’s ever been suggested that I cook for his family! It was THAT good!
