With butternut squash, apples, and sage-flavoured chicken thighs, this easy dinner embodies the essence of fall. If you pick up pre-chopped squash at the grocery store, prep is quick and kept to a minimum. Make sure to arrange the apples on top of everything in the slow cooker. If they’re submerged in the liquid, they’ll become mushy.

Ingredients

Garlic powder

1 tsp(s)

Ground sage

¾ tsp(s)

Paprika

½ tsp(s)

Kosher salt

1½ tsp(s), divided

Black pepper

1 tsp(s), divided

Uncooked boneless skinless chicken thigh

6 thigh(s)

Onion

1 large, white, cut vertically into thick slices

Butternut squash

4 cup(s), cubed

Granny Smith apple

2 medium, cored and cut into wedges

No-salt-added chicken stock

½ cup(s)

Dijon mustard

2 tbsp(s)

Apple cider vinegar

1 tbsp(s)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, sage, paprika, ¾ tsp salt, and ½ tsp black pepper. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken thighs. Scatter the onion in the bottom of a slow cooker; top with the squash and arrange the chicken on top. Top the chicken with the apples. In a medium bowl, whisk together the stock, mustard, vinegar, and remaining ¾ tsp salt and ½ tsp black pepper; pour over the chicken mixture.
  2. Cover and cook until the chicken and vegetables are tender, 6 to 8 hours on Low or 4 to 5 hours on High.
  3. Serving size: 1 chicken thigh and about 1 cup squash mixture

Notes

Garnish with parsley, if desired.
