Best Delicata Squash And Chicken Skillet Recipes
ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH WINTER SQUASH
Roasted chicken thighs can be the juicy, meaty center of many weeknight meals. Add delicata squash, quickly tossed in a maple syrup-butter glaze, along with slices of lemon and sage, and you have a something more unusual, an interplay of flavors that don't generally meet on the same sheet pan. This recipe is a little too fussy to count as a fast weeknight dish, but there is nothing difficult about any of the steps. And it's a fine introduction to delicata squash, if you haven't cooked with them yet. Unlike many other winter squash varieties, they have a thin skin and don't need to be peeled (just cut them in half and remove the seeds), making them as easy to prepare as they are sweet.

DELICATA SQUASH WITH NUT STUFFING
I've made this twice now and everyone loves it. I tried it with acorn squash and it's just as good. I bet any mild squash would work.

SAUSAGE AND FARRO SKILLET WITH MUSHROOMS AND DELICATA SQUASH
A quick, one-pan skillet supper with Italian sausage, farro, and vegetables. I like the savory flavor that mushrooms and winter squash lend to this dish, but you could use almost any vegetables here with great results!
