  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups fresh broccoli florets

2 cups cubed butternut squash

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

extra salt and ground black pepper for seasoning

1/4 cup diced onion

7 to 8 garlic cloves, minced

2 teaspoons dried parsley

1 and 1/4 cups chicken broth (low-sodium acceptable)

3/4 cup half-and-half or whole milk

1 tablespoon cornstarch

chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

1-Preheat oven to 400ยฐF (204ยฐC): Arrange the broccoli and butternut squash in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper, then roast for 20 minutes.

2-Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then cook for about 4 minutes per side until lightly browned but not fully cooked through. Remove the chicken and cover loosely with foil.

3-In the same skillet, melt butter, then add salt, pepper, onion, garlic, parsley, and chicken broth. Cook and stir for 5 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the pan bottom to build that rich flavor.

4-Whisk cornstarch into half-and-half or whole milk, then slowly add this mixture to the skillet. Stir for about 1 minute until the sauce thickens into a creamy garlic base.

5-Return the chicken and roasted vegetables to the skillet, coating everything with the sauce. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165ยฐF (74ยฐC).

6-Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve. This step ensures your garlic chicken and vegetables come out perfectly tender and flavorful.

Notes

๐Ÿ— Using chicken thighs adds richer flavor; pound breasts for even cooking.
๐Ÿฅฆ Roast vegetables in a single layer for optimal crispness.
๐Ÿฅ› Use half-and-half or whole milk to avoid sauce curdling and whisk cornstarch into milk to prevent lumps.
