Part 2/7:
To kick off this delightful dish, begin by gathering four boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Season them generously with salt, garlic powder, and pepper. As the oven preheats to 350° F (175° C), Canel emphasizes the importance of seasoning; under-seasoned chicken, he notes, can be discouraging.
While the chicken cooks, Canel walks through the preparation of other ingredients. He slices half a large sweet onion and chops two garden-fresh squash into uniform half-moons. His approach to meal prep is practical; he often preps some vegetables ahead of time to alleviate stress during dinner hours.
