Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups chopped butternut squash, but into ½-inch cubes
  • 3 cups quartered brussels sprouts
  • ½ large vidalia onion, sliced
  • ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons olive or avocado oil, divided
  • ½ teaspoon oregano, divided
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme, divided
  • ½ teaspoon salt, divided
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper, divided
  • ¼ cup whole grain dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons chopped garlic
  • 1 lb thin sliced chicken breast, cut into 1.5-inch strips
  • Optional garnish: pomegranate seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the butternut squash and brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons of oil, ¼ teaspoon oregano, ¼ teaspoon dried thyme, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Distribute on the baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 20 minutes. 
  4. While the chicken bakes, in a small bowl mix together the dijon mustard, ¼ cup oil, maple syrup, garlic, ¼ teaspoon oregano, ¼ teaspoon dried thyme, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. 
  5. Add the chicken to the same large bowl used for the vegetables and add half of the dijon marinade. Toss together until coated and set aside while the vegetables continue to roast.
  6. After 15 minutes, remove the butternut squash and brussels sprouts from the oven. Increase the temperature to 425°F. 
  7. Using tongs, add the chicken to the pan. Spoon the excess marinade on top of the chicken and veggies. Return to the oven for about 12 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the veggies are tender, soft to fork.
  8. Sprinkle pomegranate seeds on top for an optional garnish. Enjoy!
