Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 425°F.
  2. Halve and seed the delicata squash, then slice into half-moons. Slice the onion into wedges and mince the garlic.
  3. Toss the delicata squash and onion with 1 tablespoon olive oil, half the garlic, thyme or rosemary, salt, and pepper on a sheet pan.
  4. Pat dry the chicken thighs and season with salt, pepper, a little lemon zest, and 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Add to the sheet pan.
  5. Roast 25 to 30 minutes, stirring vegetables once, until the chicken is cooked through and the squash is browned at the edges.
  6. Meanwhile, shred the cabbage and thinly slice the apple.
  7. Heat remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add cabbage with a pinch of salt and cook 4 minutes.
  8. Add apple, remaining garlic, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Cook 2 to 3 minutes more until the cabbage softens but still has some texture.
  9. Serve the roasted chicken with delicata squash and the warm apple-cabbage sauté. Finish with more lemon juice to taste.
