Cooking Steps
- Cut the chicken thighs into thirds and season with salt, pepper, and herbs. Sear in a skillet with olive oil for 5-7 minutes until golden brown, then set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt butter, add diced onions and cubed butternut squash with paprika. Sauté for 8-10 minutes until squash is just tender, then deglaze with chicken stock.
- Stir in sliced leeks and minced garlic, cooking for another 5 minutes until leeks are soft and fragrant.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Layer sautéed vegetables in a baking dish, top with browned chicken, pour remaining stock, and sprinkle with parmesan.
- Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes, then remove foil and bake for another 15 minutes until cheese is golden and chicken is cooked.
- Let the bake rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
