Ingredients 

  • 4 organic chicken thighs
  • 2 –3 cup butternut squash peeled and cubed
  • Olive Oil for frying
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon oregano basil and tomato seasoning
  • 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes julienne
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat add the olive oil, sauté the cubed butternut squash until tender, for about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt & pepper. Once squash is soft, remove from skillet and set aside on a plate.
  • Season the thighs with smoked paprika, seasoning, salt and pepper. In the same skillet add chicken thighs, top side down and cook for 7 minutes. The key is not to disturb the chicken until they have a nice crusty top.
  • Flip the thighs over and cook for about 5 minutes, then add the squash back and the sun dried tomatoes into the skillet all around the thighs.
  • Remove the skillet from the stove top & place in the preheated oven.
  • Bake in oven for further 15 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Remove skillet from oven, top with fresh parsley. Serve warm.
