Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a large, rimmed 13x18-inch baking sheet with cooking spray. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, Dijon mustard, and apple cider until well combined. This vibrant mixture will serve as a flavorful glaze for the chicken. (3 minutes)

03

Step

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Sprinkle evenly with rosemary, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Arrange the chicken on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Generously brush the chicken with the mustard mixture, ensuring each piece is well coated. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Place the cubed butternut squash on the other side of the baking sheet. Drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Toss the squash until it is evenly coated with the oil and seasonings. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Roast in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the butternut squash is tender and the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. For the best results, baste the chicken with the mustard mixture several times during roasting to keep it moist and flavorful. (40 minutes)

For easier cleanup, line the baking sheet with parchment paper.
Feel free to add other vegetables to the sheet pan, such as Brussels sprouts, red onion wedges, or bell peppers.
If you don't have apple cider, you can substitute with apple juice or white wine vinegar.
Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
