Ingredients:

• 1 butternut squash, cubed
• 8 chicken thighs fat trimmed
• 8-10 cloves garlic peeled and crushed
• 3 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 Tbsp salt
• 1 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 tsp paprika
• 2-3 twigs fresh thyme (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat over to 375°F
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
3. Cut the butternut squash into 1-inch chucks (I love this method)
4. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and coat evenly
5. Distribute the chicken and butternut squash in an even layer on your lined baking sheet.
6. Bake for 1 hour. If you’re chicken thighs have skin, increase the heat to 425°F and bake another 10-20 minutes until the chicken is golden in color.
