HERBED CHICKEN AND SQUASH

Steps:

• Position rack in lower third of oven; heat oven to 400°F. Season chicken with 1 tablespoon chopped rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. In a bowl, toss squash with 1 teaspoon oil. In a second bowl, toss onions with 2 teaspoons vinegar and remaining 1 teaspoon oil. Coat a rimmed sheet pan with cooking spray. Place chicken on pan bone side up; spread squash and onion in a single layer around chicken; sprinkle vegetables with remaining 1 tbsp chopped rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; roast 15 minutes. In second bowl, combine preserves, mustard, ginger, garlic and remaining 1 teaspoon vinegar. Flip chicken and brush with apricot-mustard sauce; turn veggies; roast until chicken's internal temperature reaches 165°F, 10 to 15 minutes more. Divide chicken and veggies among 4 plates; garnish each with a sprig of rosemary.

CHICKEN AND SUMMER SQUASH

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, melt butter in the oil over medium high heat. Season chicken with half of the salt and half of the pepper, and add it to skillet. Cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to large plate or platter, and cover to keep warm.
• Pour off fat from skillet, and add squash, zucchini, and tomato. Season with remaining salt and pepper. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until squash is slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat, and return chicken to skillet. Cover partially. Cook until squash is soft, and chicken is white throughout but still juicy, about 5 minutes longer.
• Transfer chicken to platter, and cover with foil to keep warm. Raise heat to high. Cook vegetable mixture, stirring often, until almost all of the liquid has evaporated, about 2 minutes. Arrange vegetables around chicken, and serve.

CAST-IRON ROAST CHICKEN WITH WINTER SQUASH, RED ONIONS, AND PANCETTA

Steps:

• Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season generously with salt, inside and out. (We use 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1/2 tsp. Morton kosher salt per lb.) Tie legs together with kitchen twine. Let sit 1 hour to allow salt to penetrate, or chill, uncovered, up to 1 day ahead.
• Place a rack in upper third of oven and set a 12" cast-iron skillet or 3-qt. enameled cast-iron baking dish on rack. Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Meanwhile, toss onions, squash, pancetta, and 2 Tbsp. oil in a large bowl to coat; season with salt and pepper.
• Once oven reaches temperature, pat chicken dry with paper towels and lightly coat with half of remaining oil; sprinkle with dry rub, if using. Drizzle remaining oil into hot skillet (this helps keep the chicken from sticking and tearing the skin). Place chicken in the center of skillet and arrange squash mixture around. Roast until vegetables are golden brown and tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of breasts registers 155°F, 50-60 minutes (temperature will climb to 165°F as chicken rests). Let chicken rest in skillet at least 20 minutes and up to 45 minutes.
• Transfer chicken to a cutting board and carve. Serve with vegetables.

CHEESY CHICKEN AND SQUASH CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2 1/2-quart baking dish and set aside.
• Bring about 5 cups of lightly salted water to a boil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven. Add squash, onion, parsley, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring back to a boil and cook over medium heat until squash is fork-tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and discard parsley sprigs and bay leaf. Lightly press squash to remove additional liquid, then set aside.
• Wipe out the saucepan and return to the heat. Melt 4 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Sprinkle in flour and stir, working out any lumps, until flour and butter start to bubble, about 2 minutes. Gradually stir in milk and heat to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook and stir until sauce thickens, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Remove sauce from heat and stir in seasoned salt, Worcestershire sauce, and nutmeg. Drizzle 2 tablespoons into the egg yolks, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Repeat with 2 additional tablespoons. Drizzle warmed eggs slowly back into the saucepan and stir until sauce is smooth. Stir in 1/2 of the Gruyere cheese and cayenne pepper. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place well drained squash and onion into the prepared baking dish. Top with chicken. Pour sauce over chicken and squash and stir gently to coat.
• Combine 2 teaspoons butter, remaining Gruyere cheese, and bread crumbs for the topping. Spread evenly over the casserole.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the top is browned and bubbly, about 35 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley.
