Chicken, Butternut Squash And Pear Bake With Sage And Lemon Zest

“This is a stay at home, weekday supper dish. It is so quick, just pop all of the ingredients on a tray and roast. Sweet, savoury and comforting. From a health point of view you get your extra fruit and vegetable portion and beta carotene from the squash.” Sophie Michell, television chef and author
 
Serves 4
Prep time 20 minutes
Cooking time 45 minutes
 
Ingredients:
4 Chicken breasts (skin on)
500g Butternut squash, peeled
2 Red onions, peeled and cut into wedges
4 Pears
1 Small bunch of sage
1 Lemon
Sea salt and olive oil
 
 Method
1.Pre-heat the oven to 180C/350F. Cut the butternut squash into large pieces and lay on to a tray. Peel the pears then cut in half and de-core and quarter the red onions.

2.Arrange the onion and pear on top of the squash and then drizzle with olive oil, season and top with the chicken breasts. Roughly chop the sage leaves and sprinkle over the tray along with the lemon zest.

3.Place the tray into the oven and cook for 45-60 minutes. I like to serve this with green beans and boiled rice.
