Ingredients

Scale
  • Low-calorie oil spray
  • 1 1/3 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, uncooked
  • 1 tsp dried parsley flakes
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp salted butter (or olive oil)
  • 1 yellow onion, sliced
  • 1 1/3 lb butternut squash, peeled and diced
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 3 leeks, cleaned, trimmed, and cut into slices
  • 1 tbsp chopped garlic (or 3 garlic cloves, crushed)
  • 1 cup (8 fl oz) chicken broth
  • 3 oz (80 g) freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley leaves, chopped (about a handful)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add the uncooked chicken thighs. Season with dried parsley flakes, thyme, salt, and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil or melted butter, then mix until well coated.
  3. In your baking dish, spread out the sliced onions evenly across the bottom. Layer the diced butternut squash on top of the onions. Add the sliced leeks over the squash.
  4. Place the seasoned chicken thighs on top of the vegetables. Sprinkle paprika over everything for added flavor.
  5. Pour chicken broth around the edges of the baking dish without disturbing the chicken. Finally, sprinkle freshly grated parmesan cheese on top.
  6. Cover with foil or bake uncovered based on preference: Bake for about 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Remove foil during the last few minutes if you want a golden-brown finish.
  7. Once done, sprinkle fresh parsley over your bake before serving.
