Sheet Pan Chicken & Squash

Prepare the vegetables
1 Prepare the vegetables

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. 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. Medium dice the potatoes. Halve and peel the onion; cut into 1/2-inch-wide wedges. Transfer the vegetables to a sheet pan; drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and the spice blend. Toss to coat and arrange in an even layer. Roast 20 to 25 minutes, or until lightly browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.

2 Start the chicken

Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on both sides. Transfer to a separate sheet pan. Roast 10 minutes. Leaving the oven on, remove from the oven.

Meanwhile, roughly chop the pepitas. In a bowl, combine the chopped pepitas, breadcrumbs, and mayonnaise; season with salt and pepper. Carefully top the partially roasted chicken with the pepita mixture (pressing gently to adhere). Drizzle with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Return to the oven and roast 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly browned and cooked through.* Remove from the oven.

4 Make the sauce & serve your dish

Meanwhile, halve the lime crosswise; squeeze the juice into a bowl. Peel 1 clove of garlic; using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate into a paste. Roughly chop the pepper. Thoroughly wash your hands immediately after handling. To the bowl of lime juice, add the orange marmalade, oregano, sugar, as much of the garlic paste as you'd like, and as much of the chopped pepper as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be. Whisk until the sugar has dissolved. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the finished chicken with the roasted vegetables. Drizzle the chicken and vegetables with the sauce. Enjoy!
