Savory chicken, crispy bacon, and roasted butternut squash unite for a memorable one-pan dinner.
Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 butternut squash (2 to 2 1/2 lb), halved, seeded, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 to 8 oz each)
  • 4 slices thick-cut bacon
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • Additional chopped fresh parsley, thyme and oregano
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a large rimmed sheet pan with foil and spray with cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, chili garlic sauce, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add squash and toss to coat. Arrange squash in a single layer on the foil-lined pan. Place a wire rack on top of the squash and spray it with cooking spray.
  • Combine cream cheese, herbs, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a medium bowl. Cut a 3-inch-long pocket in the thick side of each chicken breast, leaving 1/4 inch from the opposite side. Fill each pocket with about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture. Wrap each chicken breast with a slice of bacon and secure with toothpicks before placing them on a rack.
  • Bake chicken and squash for 30 minutes. While they bake, combine melted butter, brown sugar, and soy sauce in a small bowl. Brush chicken with butter mixture and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the squash is tender. Garnish with additional fresh herbs, if desired.
