Ingredients

Instructions

Position rack in lower third of oven; heat oven to 400 °F. Season chicken with 1 tablespoon chopped rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. In a bowl, toss squash with 1 teaspoon oil. In a second bowl, toss onions with 2 teaspoons vinegar and remaining 1 teaspoon oil. Coat a rimmed sheet pan with cooking spray. Place chicken on pan bone side up; spread squash and onion in a single layer around chicken; sprinkle vegetables with remaining 1 tbsp chopped rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; roast 15 minutes. In second bowl, combine preserves, mustard, ginger, garlic and remaining 1 teaspoon vinegar. Flip chicken and brush with apricot-mustard sauce; turn veggies; roast until chicken's internal temperature reaches 165 °F, 10 to 15 minutes more. Divide chicken and veggies among 4 plates; garnish each with a sprig of rosemary.

Why this Herbed Chicken and Squash works for PCOS

Evening meals affect overnight insulin and morning blood sugar more than most women realise. Keeping dinner protein-forward and finishing eating at least 2-3 hours before bed gives your body time to clear glucose before the overnight fast, which improves morning fasting insulin readings.
