INGREDIENTS
150g Chicken Breast
0.5 oz Pistachios, unsalted (approximately 14g)
1 cup Butternut Squash (approximately 205g cubed)
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
0.5 tsp Ground Cinnamon
1 pinch Salt
1 pinch Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix the ground cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.
Coat the chicken breast evenly with the cinnamon spice mix.
Place the chicken on a plate and press the chopped pistachios onto the surface, ensuring the chicken is well coated.
Cube the butternut squash, toss it with olive oil, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Spread the butternut squash on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Place the chicken breast on a separate baking tray or beside the squash if space allows, ensuring even cooking.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the squash is tender and slightly caramelized.
Let rest for a few minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
