Roasted Calabaza with Herb-Crusted Chicken
Enjoy a satisfying dish featuring succulent herb-crusted chicken paired with sweet, roasted calabaza. This balanced meal is lightly seasoned with rosemary, thyme, and garlic, then finished with a hint of olive oil and lemon zest to elevate the natural flavors of the ingredients.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup roasted Calabaza (cubed)
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tsp Fresh Rosemary
1 tsp Fresh Thyme
0.5 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Lemon Zest
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the calabaza into 1-inch cubes and toss in a bowl with half the olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Spread the calabaza cubes evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
Meanwhile, pat the chicken breast dry. In a small bowl, combine the rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, lemon zest, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
Rub the herb mixture evenly over the chicken breast. Drizzle the remaining olive oil on top to help the herbs adhere.
Place the chicken breast on a lightly oiled baking tray or oven-proof skillet. Roast in the oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once both components are done, slice the chicken breast and serve it alongside the roasted calabaza.
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired and enjoy your healthy, balanced meal.
