Roasted Rosemary Chicken with Veggies

I love butternut squash, and it's so plentiful and sweet this time of year.  Here's a great recipe that uses butternut squash, not as the main ingredient, but mixed in a scrumptious medley.  Two thumbs up.

Roasted Rosemary Chicken with Veggies
Adapted from this recipe.



Ingredients:
  • 1 butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cubed
  • 3 carrots, cubed
  • 4 zucchini, cubed
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard, divided
  • 3 teaspoons rosemary, divided
  • Tastefully Simple Seasoned Salt
  • freshly-ground black pepper
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or 8 chicken tenders
Directions:
  • Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees, F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, toss the butternut squash and carrots with 1 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoons mustard, 1 teaspoon rosemary and TSSS and black pepper to taste.  Pour into a large baking dish and bake in pre-heated oven for 20 minutes.  
  • Meanwhile, add the zucchini to the mixing bowl along with 1 more tablespoon each of olive oil and mustard, 1 teaspoon rosemary, and some more TSSS and black pepper and toss.  Set aside.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, combine chicken with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon mustard, 1 teaspoon rosemary, and TSSS and black pepper to taste.  Set aside.
  • Once the butternut squash and carrots have roasted for about 20 minutes, they should be semi-soft.  Remove baking dish from the oven, add the zucchini and toss.  Lay the chicken pieces on top of the veggies.
  • Return the baking dish to the oven and continue roasting for another 25 (tenders) - 35 (breasts) minutes until the chicken is cooked through.  Remove from oven and let sit for a few minutes before serving.
