Sometimes you just need comfort food. Most of the time though comfort food isn’t healthy. I should know, I downed an entire pan of brownies over the weekend all by myself. Maybe that’s why I needed this comfort food, to comfort me from the fact that I ate so.many.brownies. This recipe is healthy though, score! Roasted chicken with potatoes and my favorite, butternut squash. It’s such a fall/winter recipe but it’s honestly perfect any time of the year. This is a great weeknight one pan dish too.
Everyone around the table will love it. It’s hearty while still being healthy.

Oooh I will save this for fall. I always struggle with chicken breasts. My husband prefers them but they dry out so easily. Thanks!

They do dry out easily. I find that cooking them on a lower heat for a little bit longer fixes that most of them time! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
