Chicken And Butternut Squash Orzo
  1. Season chicken with ¾ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper.

  2. Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Working in batches, add chicken to the Dutch oven in a single layer and cook until golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 4-5 minutes per side; set aside.

  3. Add shallot, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in garlic, thyme and sage until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  4. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute.

  5. Stir in chicken stock and Dijon, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the Dutch oven. Stir in orzo; season with salt and pepper, to taste.

  6. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until pasta is cooked through, about 6 minutes. Stir in kale, Parmesan and heavy cream until the kale has wilted, about 3 minutes.

  7. Stir in roasted butternut squash; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Return chicken to the Dutch oven.

  8. Serve immediately.

  9. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.

  10. Place butternut squash in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Stir in olive oil; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Gently toss to combine.

  11. Place into oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until butternut squash is tender, stirring at halftime.
