ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH WINTER SQUASH
Roasted chicken thighs can be the juicy, meaty center of many weeknight meals. Add delicata squash, quickly tossed in a maple syrup-butter glaze, along with slices of lemon and sage, and you have a something more unusual, an interplay of flavors that don't generally meet on the same sheet pan. This recipe is a little too fussy to count as a fast weeknight dish, but there is nothing difficult about any of the steps. And it's a fine introduction to delicata squash, if you haven't cooked with them yet. Unlike many other winter squash varieties, they have a thin skin and don't need to be peeled (just cut them in half and remove the seeds), making them as easy to prepare as they are sweet.

Steps:
- Trim ends off delicata squash. Slice in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Discard ends and seeds, but leave the skin on. Place the squash cut-sides down on a cutting board and cut into thin slices.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add squash, onion, and apple; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, for 3 minutes. Cover, reduce heat, and cook until squash is tender, about 5 more minutes, tossing occasionally.
- While the squash is cooking, combine chicken, bell pepper, juice from the lemon wedge, garlic, mustard, maple syrup, remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, sage, thyme, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Stir until well combined and chicken is coated.
- Add chicken mixture to the skillet. Add cashews and toss to combine. Cook until chicken is heated through, about 1 minute.

SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH SQUASH AND DATES
This weeknight sheet-pan dinner combines chicken with simple ingredients that hit a number of notes, all salty, sweet, tangy and rich. The juicy Medjool dates caramelize as they cook, while the chickpeas become extra toasty and nutty. Their textures complement the velvety roasted squash and meaty chicken. A lemony olive-caper relish with fresh parsley, bolstered by pan juices, brightens and balances. Chop up leftovers and repurpose them in a rice salad with crumbled feta or grated Parmesan for extra tang. Or, for a fantastic vegetarian side dish or warm salad, you could make this recipe without the chicken.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, combine squash and chickpeas with 3 tablespoons oil; season well with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then spread in an even layer. Rub chicken with 1 tablespoon oil, season with salt and pepper, and arrange on top, skin-side up. Roast for 20 minutes, then stir in dates, and roast until squash is golden and chicken is cooked through, about 20 to 25 minutes longer.
- While the mixture roasts, in a small bowl, whisk the remaining 1/4 cup oil with the olives, parsley, capers and caper brine, and lemon juice. Season the olive relish with salt and pepper, then set aside.
- Divide the roasted chicken, squash, dates and chickpeas among plates. Stir any pan juices into the relish, then spoon the relish on top of each serving. Serve with lemon wedges.
