A savory-sweet sheet pan dinner featuring tender chicken thighs glazed in maple and garlic, paired with roasted butternut squash, tart cranberries, and crumbled feta.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, toss butternut squash with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on the baking sheet.
  3. Pat chicken thighs dry and season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Place them skin-side up among the squash.
  4. In a small bowl, mix maple syrup, minced garlic, and remaining olive oil. Brush half over the chicken thighs.
  5. Roast for 25 minutes, then brush chicken with remaining glaze and sprinkle cranberries over the squash. Roast 10 more minutes until chicken is cooked through.
  6. Remove from oven, sprinkle with feta and parsley. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
