A skillet meal that's quick and easy to make. It's a good way to use up that leftover rotisserie chicken. Great served with a piece of naan.

Ingredients

  • 1 small delicata squash

  • 1 ½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced

  • 1 small Golden Delicious apple, cored and thinly sliced

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 6 ounces cooked chicken, cut into 3/4-inch cubes

  • ¼ cup chopped red bell pepper

  • 1 wedge lemon

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

  • 1 ½ teaspoons minced fresh sage

  • 1 ½ teaspoons minced fresh thyme

  • ⅛ teaspoon salt

  • ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ⅓ cup lightly salted cashews

Directions

  1. Trim ends off delicata squash. Slice in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Discard ends and seeds, but leave the skin on. Place the squash cut-sides down on a cutting board and cut into thin slices.

  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add squash, onion, and apple; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, for 3 minutes. Cover, reduce heat, and cook until squash is tender, about 5 more minutes, tossing occasionally.

  3. While the squash is cooking, combine chicken, bell pepper, juice from the lemon wedge, garlic, mustard, maple syrup, remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, sage, thyme, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Stir until well combined and chicken is coated.

  4. Add chicken mixture to the skillet. Add cashews and toss to combine. Cook until chicken is heated through, about 1 minute.
