Roasted Italian Chicken Breast and Acorn Squash
4 steps
Prep:15minCook:30min
This is a super simple meal that pairs Italian flavors with roasted chicken and acorn squash. They both roast in the oven, and are very quick to prepare. I make some sort of roasted chicken and roasted vegetables very often, as it's very simple, tasty, and healthy. This is just one of my ways to flavor such a dish.
