This recipe is perfect for a satisfying weeknight dinner or a hearty meal prep.

Ingredients:

4 chicken breasts
470g
3 tbsp butter
44g
1/2 cup bread crumbs
44g
1 short spray cooking spray oil
0.30g
4 cups pumpkin
480g
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
90g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
2. Prepare the Chicken:
- Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl until fully liquid.
- In a separate shallow dish, combine the bread crumbs, salt, and pepper. If you like, add some dried herbs or garlic powder for added flavor.
- Dip each chicken breast first in the melted butter, then coat each piece in the breadcrumb mixture until well-covered. Set aside.
3. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Peel and cube the pumpkin. Halve the cherry tomatoes.
- Spread the pumpkin cubes on a large baking sheet. Spray them lightly with the cooking spray oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Optionally, sprinkle with fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme.
- Place the cherry tomatoes on the same baking sheet, ensuring they have a little space around them so they roast evenly.
4. Cook the Vegetables:
- Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes.
5. Add the Chicken:
- After the vegetables have roasted for 10 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and place the breadcrumb-coated chicken breasts on it, ensuring they don't touch each other or the vegetables directly.
- Add the minced garlic over the vegetables for an added flavor boost if you like.
6. Continue Roasting:
- Put the baking sheet back in the oven and roast for an additional 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 75°C/165°F) and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
7. Serve:
- Once everything is cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the garlic chicken alongside the roasted vegetables. Optionally garnish with fresh herbs for extra flavor and a nice presentation.

Tips:

- Ensure the chicken breasts are uniformly thick for even cooking.

- Use fresh, ripe cherry tomatoes for the best flavor.

- You can replace pumpkin with other seasonal vegetables like sweet potatoes, carrots, or butternut squash.

- If you prefer crispy chicken, broil the chicken breasts for a couple of minutes at the end of baking.

- Using a meat thermometer can help ensure your chicken is cooked to a safe internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
