Ingredients

• 1.5 pound chicken thigh (boneless, skinless)
• 2 yellow squashes (medium, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch half-moons)
• 2 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoon lime juice (fresh)
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper (ground)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, fresh lime juice, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
3. Arrange the chicken thighs and sliced yellow squash in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Pour the olive oil and lime mixture evenly over both the chicken and squash, tossing gently to coat.
4. Roast for 25 minutes until the chicken thighs are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F and the squash is soft and golden.

Notes

Peeled yellow summer squash provides soft fiber that is gentle on sensitive digestion.
