INGREDIENTS

For the Grilled Chicken:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 12 oz total)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp lemon juice
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
1 tsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

For the Roasted Butternut Squash:
1 cup butternut squash, peeled and diced
1 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp cinnamon (optional for extra flavor)

For the Sautéed Spinach:
2 cups fresh spinach
1 tsp olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

Roast the Butternut Squash: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss butternut squash with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cinnamon. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until caramelized and tender.

Grill the Chicken: While the squash is roasting, preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Coat the chicken breasts with the marinade. Grill the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice.

Sauté the Spinach: In a pan, heat 1 tsp olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in fresh spinach, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes, just until the spinach is wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.

Divide the grilled chicken between two plates. Serve with roasted butternut squash and sautéed spinach. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy a balanced, delicious meal!
