Sweet Autumn Chicken

Recipe #2: Sweet Autumn Chicken

4 frozen Crunchy Baked Chicken Cutlets
20 oz. fresh or frozen cubed butternut squash
4 cubed Golden Delicious apples
1 cup apple cider
2 tbsp. butter
Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 450*. Microwave butternut squash until slightly soft, about 6 minutes for fresh, 10-12 minutes for frozen. Toss the squash with the cubed apples on a baking sheet and arrange the chicken cutlets on a second baking sheet. Make a glaze by reducing the apple cider in a saucepan over high heat for 10 minutes. Remove it from the heat and wish in butter, salt and pepper. Pour half the glaze over the squash mixture. Bake the squash mixture on the upper rack and the chicken on the lower rack until the cubes are tender and the chicken is warmed through, about 15 minutes. Serve each cutlet atop the squash and apples, drizzled with the remaining glaze.
