Chicken with bacon, brussel sprouts, butternut squash and apple
Tonight’s supper was a recipe from Wholesomelicious and it was perfect for this chilly fall evening.
This was flavourful and yummy, although I cooked it quite a bit longer than suggested in order to get the vegetables soft enough for my Dad. It would be hard to improve on this recipe, but I think a little goat cheese sprinkled on top would be a great addition. You could also substitute chicken thighs for the chicken breast if you like.

Verdict
This recipe was just as Amy said, "exactly what your dinner table needs on a cozy and cool fall evening!" Although Dad needed it ground and I omitted the pecans and pomegranate arils for him, he really enjoyed this combination of flavours. I liked that it was so healthy and different, and perfect for anyone who is trying to eat fewer carbs. It would be good with either rice or mashed potatoes, I think, or even sweet potato if you wanted some carbs for the kids or anyone else who isn't worried about them.
