Ingredients

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts: 500g, cut into 1-inch cubes

Butternut squash: 400g, peeled, seeded, and cubed

Olive oil: 2 tbsp

Onion: 1 medium, chopped

Garlic: 2 cloves, minced

Chicken broth: 120 ml (1/2 cup)

Heavy cream: 80 ml (1/3 cup)

Sage: 1 tsp, dried

Rosemary: 1/2 tsp, dried

Nutmeg: 1/4 tsp, ground

Salt: 1/2 tsp, or to taste

Black pepper: 1/4 tsp, or to taste

Optional garnish: Fresh parsley, chopped

Cooking Instructions

    1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the cubed chicken and cook until browned on all sides. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

    2. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

    3. Add the cubed butternut squash to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened. This helps bring out thenatural sweetnessof the squash.

    4. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Thesedeglazedbits add a lot of flavor. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

    5. Return the browned chicken to the skillet. Stir in the sage, rosemary, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the butternut squash is tender.

    6. Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

      Pro Tip

      For a richer flavor, consider browning the chicken in butter instead of olive oil. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dish. Also, pre-roasting the butternut squash enhances its sweetness, creating a more complex flavor profile for this low-carb butternut chicken dish.
