2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil

1 large butternut squash (about 3 pounds), peeled, seeded and cut in 1-inch chunks
1 1/2 pounds brussels sprouts, halved
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.

  • Place butternut squash and brussels sproutsin a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Top with chicken in a single layer and brush each chicken breast with honey mixture.
  • Place into oven and roast until the chicken is completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 25-30 minutes. Then broil for 2-3 minutes, or until caramelized and slightly charred.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.
