Ingredients
- 3/4 pounds cubed peeled butternut squash (about 6 cups)
- 2 lemons (1 sliced, 1 juiced)
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)
- 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Toss the squash, sliced lemon, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast, undisturbed, until the squash is tender and lightly browned around the edges, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the chicken; cook until well browned on the bottom, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip the chicken and transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast until the chicken is just cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes.
- Return the skillet to the stovetop over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until softened, about 1 minute. Add the lemon juice and the remaining 1 tablespoon oregano. Cook, spooning the pan juices over the chicken, 1 minute. Serve the chicken with the roasted squash and lemon; drizzle with the remaining pan juices.

Reviews
I just made this recipe and I hated it. HATED IT! Followed the directions to a T and it was disgusting. I’ll never make this again. Who wants to transfer their chicken from the stove to the oven back to the stove?! That’s ridiculous and there’s absolutely ZERO lemon flavor to this chicken. -10/10 do not make this.
Super easy and very tasty
Very good and healthy
Liked the chicken part of the recipe but the butternut squash part is not that great.
