- For even cooking, make sure to cut the squash and onions into similarly sized pieces.
- Cook the bacon first to render out the fat, which will be used to cook the other ingredients and add extra flavor.
- Sauté the onions and squash until they start to caramelize for added sweetness and depth of flavor.
- Add the asparagus last to ensure it retains its crunch and vibrant color.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the chicken thighs for doneness; they should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Deglaze the pan with chicken broth to lift any flavorful bits stuck to the bottom of the skillet.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper but be mindful of the saltiness of the bacon and the chicken broth.
