Part 3/7:
As the chicken browns in the hot olive oil, Canel reminds viewers how important it is to let the meat cook undisturbed. The anticipation builds as viewers consider how the meal will come together—all in one pot, no less!
Cooking Steps
Once the chicken is golden brown and beautifully seared, it’s time to shift the focus to the onions. By adding them to the pan, Canel allows them to soften and soak up the rich flavors left by the chicken. The squash is introduced next, providing both texture and moisture as it cooks down.
Canel shares alternatives for those looking to make a vegetarian version of this dish. He suggests swapping the chicken for hearty vegetables like butternut squash, chickpeas, or white beans.
