Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 190c. Mix together the soy sauce, orange juice & zest, garlic and ginger. Mix together in a bowl with the chicken thighs
In a deep baking tray/casserole dish, sprinkle in the red onion, add in the butternut squash, place the chicken thighs evenly over the top and then pour the marinade over. Spray over the top with spray oil or cooking spray.
Bake for 20 minutes, then take out of oven to give it a good stir, and pop back in for another 20 minutes.
Check that the butternut squash is cooked through, and serve!

Notes

Please note, the cooking time of the butternut squash may vary depending how thickly it’s chopped- just double check that it is tender before serving. If the squash isn’t cooked but the chicken is, just take the chicken out and set aside covered in foil while you give the butternut squash a little extra time. Perfect served with green veg, salad and grated carrot!
