Chicken, Delicata Squash & Kale Salad

Prepare & roast the squash
1 Prepare & roast the squash

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Line a sheet pan with foil. Halve, peel, and thinly slice the onion. Cut off and discard the ends of the squash. Halve lengthwise; using a spoon, scoop out and discard the pulp and seeds. Cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Place the prepared vegetables on the sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil; season with salt, pepper, and as much of the red pepper flakes as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be. Toss to coat. Arrange in an even layer. Roast 21 to 23 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.

2 Prepare & marinate the kale

Meanwhile, quarter and deseed the lemon. Separate the kale leaves from the stems; discard the stems, then thinly slice the leaves. Place in a large bowl; add the juice of 2 lemon wedges and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Using your hands, massage the kale to slightly soften. Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally, at least 10 minutes.

Cook the chicken
3 Cook the chicken

Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry with paper towels; place in a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and enough of the spice blend to coat (you may have extra); toss to coat. In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Turn off the heat.

4 Make the dressing

In a bowl, whisk together the mustard, fig spread, half the parmesan, the juice of the remaining lemon wedges, and a drizzle of olive oil. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.
