Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1 lb)
  • 3 cups butternut squash, cubed
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp red curry paste
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a bowl, toss cubed butternut squash and sliced onion with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in the baking dish and roast for 25–30 minutes until tender.
  3. While veggies roast, heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides (about five minutes per side).
  4. In a bowl, whisk together coconut milk, red curry paste, soy sauce, garlic, and lime juice. Pour this mixture over the browned chicken.
  5. Once roasted veggies are done, add them to the skillet with chicken. Stir gently to combine and simmer on low heat for about ten minutes.
  6. Serve hot drizzled with sauce.
