Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp avocado or coconut oil
  • 4 chicken drumsticks
  • 2 medium acorn squash
  • 2 cups arugula
  • 1 small lemon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Place 1 Tbsp oil on the skillet and heat over medium-high heat. 
  • Add the chicken drumsticks and cook for about 10 minutes on each side (or until they are 80% cooked).
  • While the chicken is cooking, slice or cube the acorn squash.
  • When the chicken is about 80% cooked through, set aside and add another tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Cook the squash for about 5 minutes, flipping half way through.
  • Add the chicken back into the skillet. Place the entire skillet in the oven for about 20 minutes or until the chicken is completely cooked.
  • Remove from oven. Add in the arugula and squeeze lemon over the entire dish. Serve and enjoy!
