Transfer sauce to a frying pan and add chicken thighs. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 20 minutes.

4. Stage

Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat in a skillet. Add 1 quarter onion and remaining garlic clove. Cook and stir until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add bell pepper and cook and stir until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in squash. Season with salt and pepper and saute until squash is cooked through and tender, about 5 minutes.

5. Stage

Slice remaining tomato. Heat remaining tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add tomato and remaining 1 quarter onion. Cook and stir until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Place on top of chicken mixture and serve with squash.
