Ingredients
  

For the sheet pan

  • 3 cups cubed butternut squash
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 2 tablespoons thinly sliced shallots
  • ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
  • teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups sourdough bread cubes
  • 8 ounces boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 4 whole garlic cloves peeled
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese

For the vinaigrette

  • 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons minced shallot
  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • In a large bowl, combine cubed butternut squash, one tablespoon of olive oil, sliced shallots, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
  • Line one third of a sheet pan with parchment. Spread the squash mixture on the remaining two thirds. Roast for 10 minutes.
  • While the squash is roasting, toss bread cubes in the remaining olive oil. Brush both sides of the chicken with oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • After 10 minutes, remove the pan. Add the bread cubes and garlic cloves around the squash. Place chicken breasts on the parchment-lined side. Return to the oven and roast for 25 more minutes.
  • While it cooks, whisk together the vinaigrette ingredients in a bowl or shake in a jar until combined.
  • Once roasted, slice or shred the chicken. Squeeze a garlic clove into each bowl. Top with vinaigrette and parmesan. Toss gently and serve.
