Ingredients
-
2 Chicken Breasts, bone and skin removed
2 tsp Whole Grain Mustard
2 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
2 Garlic, Whole Head
1 large Sweet Onion
1 cup, chopped Broccoli, fresh
1 cup, cubes Butternut Squash
2 tbsp Gorgonzola Crumbles
1 1tsp Coconut Oil
~2 Tbs Avocado or Olive Oil
~1 Tbs Garlic Powder
Sal n Pepper, to taste
Tips
This meal is also corn and soy free! And very easily made dairy free by omitting the cheese.
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375°.
First cut off the top 3rd of each garlic head. Place each head into a silicone cupcake liner (or make each a little nest out of aluminum foil) then drizzle with avocado/olive oil. Place them onto a baking sheet and into the preheated oven.
Use the coconut oil to spread on the bottom of a glass baking dish. Place the chicken breasts into the dish. Spread about a Tbs of mustard on each of the breasts. Then sprinkle breasts with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Then drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the breasts. Wrap the top of the baking dish with aluminum foil and place into the oven. Set timer for 10 min.
Drizzle another baking sheet with avocado oil and add butternut squash. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if desired) and toss in oil. Place into the oven, once 10 min timer has gone off. You can pull the same baking sheet out with the garlic heads out of the oven to put the veggies on it, as long as garlic has been roasting by it's self for ~10 min. Also, add more oil to garlic heads if they look too dry.
Set timer for 8 min.
Meanwhile heat about Tbs of oil in a medium skillet. Cut onion in half, and then thin slices. Add onion to skillet and sauté over low-medium heat, stirring often, until caramelized.
After the 8 min timer, pull veggie tray and add broccoli to the squash. Toss the broccoli with the oil and seasonings. Leave garlic out of the oven if they are done. Put veggies back into the oven. Set timer for 5-8 min.
Check chicken temp with thermometer (looking for 160° or higher) at the thickest part of the breast once they have been in the over for 20 min total.
Once done, adorn each plate with half of veggies, 1 garlic head and 1 chicken breast. Top chicken each breast with half of the the caramelized onions and gorgonzola cheese.
Enjoy!
