INGREDIENTS

5 oz chicken breast

1 cup butternut squash

0.5 cup black beans

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

0.5 tsp smoked paprika

0.25 tsp cumin

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp fresh cilantro

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

• 2

  Pat the chicken breast dry with a paper towel and cut it into 1-inch bite-sized cubes.

• 3

  Peel and cube the butternut squash into 1/2-inch pieces to ensure they cook at the same rate as the chicken.

• 4

  Drain and rinse the black beans thoroughly under cold water.

• 5

  In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken, butternut squash, and black beans.

• 6

  Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.

• 7

  Toss everything together until the ingredients are evenly coated in the oil and spices.

• 8

  Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan so the squash can caramelize.

• 9

  Roast in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the squash is tender and golden brown.

• 10

  Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving warm.
