Healthy meals with cinnamon usually have a warming quality, and this stew is no exception. Let it braise for several hours to develop the flavors.
Ingredients:
- 1 large butternut squash, peeled and cubed (about 8 cups)
- 1 cup small pitted prunes, halved
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small red onion, chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- salt and pepper to taste
- 8 skinless, boneless chicken thighs – approximately 3 pounds
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350-degrees Fahrenheit. Mix together the squash, prunes, onion, cinnamon, oregano, thyme and salt and pepper to taste in a large bowl – transfer to a large baking dish or Dutch oven. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper and arrange on top of the vegetables. Stir together the broth, orange zest and juice in a small bowl and add to the chicken-vegetable mixture. Cover with foil or a lid and bake for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake about an hour longer until the chicken is cooked through.
