one pan chicken with squash and mushrooms

It takes just one-pan and 15 minutes of active time to make this Chicken with Squash and Mushrooms. It is a great recipe for busy weeknight dinners. It is naturally paleo, gluten-free and grain-free.

Let’s do a little poll. Raise your hand if you don’t like one-pot meals.

Nobody?

Okay, how about one-pan meals? Raise your hand if you hate them.

Hmm, from the lack of hands, I think it is safe to say that we can all agree that they are the best thing that happened to dinner time. Amiright?

This One-pan Chicken with Squash and Mushrooms is so simple to make. All you need is a bowl and a baking sheet pan. That’s it! Now you can raise your hand up to HIGH FIVE me! Oh yeah! 🙂

Here’s how you make it: The butternut squash takes a while to roast, so that has to get a head start in the oven, for about 15 minutes, before the boneless chicken thighs and mushrooms are added. Once the squash is pre-softened a bit, just add in herbs and mushrooms and a drizzle of oil. Stir it up and then nestle the chicken into the pan among the veggies. The chicken is also seasoned with the herbs too. Every thing goes back into the oven and its ready in 20 minutes.

I made a 1 minute cooking video to show you just how simple this is.

Questions:

How often do you rely on one-pan recipes for busy weeknights?

Have you tried adding ingredients in stages onto a baking sheet like this?
