How to cook deliciously - Delicata Squash and Chicken Skillet

1. Stage

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. Stage

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. Stage

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. Stage

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