Join the discussionmade this and followed the recipe exactly except added some salt and garlic. Absolutely delicious. Will make this again. 🙂
Would the baking time change if I needed to quadrupole this recipe?
The baking time should remain the same.
Could I substitute sweet potatoes for the butternut squash?
Yes you certainly can!
Can I use chicken breast instead of thighs? My family is not a fan of bone-in chicken.
Yes, you sure can! You just may need to cook it a little longer since it will likely be more meat.
Does this need to be thawed before putting in the oven?
Hi Erin,
Yes! Thaw in your fridge overnight for best results.
Doesn’t the recipe need salt? Well, i’ll try it – but i’m adding salt to it 🙂
This is tagged as a low-sodium meal, so just make sure to take note that this will alter the recipe if you are following a low-sodium diet. That said, please feel free to adjust spices and herbs to your preference. 🙂
I have made this multiple times and it is so good! One pan makes 3 servings for us and I use low calorie syrup to keep the calories down. I also like using cubed frozen butternut squash or sweet potatoes to make assembly easier. One of our favorites!
Awesome feedback, Michelle! Thanks so much for it. 🙂 We are so glad to hear you’re enjoying this recipe!
