Spread into a single layer and roast in hot oven, 8-10 minutes.While vegetables roast, sear chicken. -
3 Finish the Chicken and Vegetables
Heat 1 tsp. olive oil in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat. Add chicken to hot pan. Cook undisturbed until browned on one side, 2-3 minutes.
After 12 minutes, carefully remove baking sheet from oven and push vegetables to one side. Baking sheet will be hot! Use a utensil. Transfer chicken, seared side up, to empty space. Reserve pan; no need to wipe clean.Roast in hot oven until butternut squash is fork-tender, Brussels sprouts edges begin to brown, and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 12-14 minutes.While chicken and vegetables roast, make sauce. -
4 Start the Sauce
Return pan used to sear chicken to medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add shallot to hot pan and stir constantly until edges are golden-brown and tender, 30-60 seconds.
Add mushrooms and stir occasionally until browned, 4-6 minutes.Stir in Italian seasoning, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper. -
5 Finish Sauce and Finish Dish
