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 🥹🥰

I know this is an older recipe but If I already have a diced onion in the fridge, how do I adjust cook time? Thanks!!!

Only add it for the final 15 minutes of roast time! Toss it in with everything for the final 15.

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. :)

This one is the all time best leftovers. On a kale salad, lights out good!!

Could you add carrots into this? 🤔

So easy, esp great for clean out the fridge before thanksgiving. Chicken thighs, honeynut squash, raisins, Fuji apple, pumpkin seeds and IT WORKS! Threw a persimmon on there just for fun and I’m not mad about it.

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

Caroline Chambers's avatar

Yes cook for 25 minutes before adding the chicken!

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 ❤️

I LOVE sub reviews!!!! So helpful for all of us!!!!!!

Your post about winter veggies brought me to this recipe. These flavors together are not typically something my husband and I eat and at first we weren’t sure but by the time we finished our plates, we realized the flavors all work so well together. I am looking forward to the leftovers over kale tomorrow!

Love this recipe, making it for the second time tonight. Anyone else find that they need more time (nearly double?) in the oven to cook the chicken? Wondering if this is common or if I need to get my oven checked 🫣

This is my forever favorite (I think)

My husband said “this is GOATed” when he took his first couple bites! So good!

Wow! This was so delicious!! It's definitely going into the dinner rotation. Thank you so much!

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.)
