Some of our favorite cozy fall recipes also happen to be the simplest. We paired juicy chicken thighs with acorn squash (though you could use any kind of hard squash really: butternut, kabocha, or even delicata) for a dish that cooks up in no time, meaning it’s easy enough for a quick weeknight meal. Plus, it’s packed with extra flavor like crushed garlic and a heft hit of herbs. Even better? You can make everything in a single pan so cleanup a breeze.
