Number of Servings:
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cups - snipped fresh basil
- 1 teaspoons - finely shredded lemon peel
- 1/2 teaspoons - salt
- 1 pinchs - crushed red pepper
- 2 1/2 pounds - meaty chicken pieces (breast halves, thighs, or drumsticks)
- 8 ounces - Brussels sprouts, halved if large
- 3 tablespoons - olive oil
- 1 - small delicata squash (1 pound) halved lengthwise, seeds removed, and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices
- 2 - medium cooking apples (Fuji, Gala, or Cortland) cored and each cut into 8 wedges
- 1 - lemon sliced
- 1 teaspoons - fennel seeds slightly crushed
Directions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a large shallow baking pan with foil, if desired; set aside.
In a small bowl combine basil, lemon peel, salt, and crushed red pepper. Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Rub herb mixture evenly over chicken pieces.
Arrange chicken in prepared baking pan. Add Brussels sprouts to pan. Drizzle chicken and sprouts with 2 tablespoons of the oil. Roast, uncovered, for 20 minutes, stirring sprouts once.
Add squash, apples, lemon, and fennel seeds to pan (or divide the mixture between two baking pans if crowded). Drizzle with remaining oil and toss to coat. Roast for 15 minutes more or until an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F in the thickest part of the breast and at least 170 degrees F in the thighs or drumsticks and vegetables are tender. Garnish with additional basil and lemon peel, if desired.
