Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. • In a large bowl, combine honey, miso sauce concentrate, onion and garlic spread, and a drizzle of oil. • Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Add chicken to bowl with marinade; toss until fully coated. Set aside.
• While chicken marinates, wash and dry produce. • Halve, peel, and thinly slice shallot lengthwise. Cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary. Trim and halve delicata squash lengthwise; scoop out seeds with a spoon and discard. Slice crosswise into 1⁄2-inch-thick half-moons.
• Toss shallot, broccoli, and squash in separate sections on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Place marinated chicken (shake off any excess marinade) in center of same sheet (you may need to push veggies to the sides). (For 4 servings, divide veggies and chicken between two sheets.) • Roast on top rack until browned and cooked through, 25-30 minutes. (For 4 servings, roast on top and middle racks, swapping rack positions halfway through.)
• Meanwhile, peel and dice potatoes into 1⁄2-inch pieces. Place in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 10-15 minutes. • While potatoes cook, pick sage leaves from stems; discard stems. Heat a drizzle of oil in a small pan over medium-high heat. Once oil is hot, add sage in a single layer. Cook until crispy, 1-2 minutes per side. (For 4 servings, you may need to fry in batches.) • Transfer sage to a paper-towel-lined plate; lightly season with salt. Once cool enough to handle, roughly chop.
• Once potatoes are done, reserve 1⁄2 cup potato cooking liquid, then drain. • Return potatoes to pot; add sour cream, garlic powder, and 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings). Mash until smooth, adding splashes of reserved potato cooking liquid as needed. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
• Divide mashed potatoes between shallow bowls. Top with chicken, squash, broccoli, and shallot. Sprinkle with crispy fried sage. Serve.
Poultry is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

Reviews from our home cooks
I was highly skeptical while preparing this meal. A lot going on and many unfamiliar flavors for me. In the end it turned out amazing and everything just worked well together. My favorite cut of chicken is boneless chicken thighs. Would love to see these offered in other chicken dishes.
Really yummy recipe and not too hard to put together. I'd never had delicata squash before and I loved it.
Never had delicata squash and was curious. It was good. Suggest frying the sage leaves and 1/4 of the shallots in olive oil first, then toss the veggies in the flavored oil to roast.
The chicken thighs were excellent. Loved using the squash instead of a potato or rice for a starch
This was a very delicious meal. I like the taste of Miso! I also like cooking chicken in the oven rather than on the stovetop.
Yum!!! Perfection. I do think cream is unnecessary in the mashed potatoes: reserved water and olive oil make for a light texture and mild flavor that are totally fine with this amazing a sauce. Marinaded chicken thighs were perfect!
The chicken and potatoes were good. The fried sage was interesting. We were disappointed in the squash skin. I don't know if it was user error, differences in appliance, or if it's supposed to be the way it turned out, but it wasn't as thin and edible as expected from the description.
Flavor was good. Too many veggies and not enough chicken. Potatoes were so small that I nearly cut myself trying to peel them and gave up. Please source bigger potatoes. Squash was hard to cut and it needed some more flavor like maple syrup or something.
Squash was really good, but needs to be without the skin. Also, pre-cut broccoli from Hello Fresh is always brown where it was cut. Suggest just sending an uncut crown.
We really liked the flavors. The squash was so good. Please have this one again or something like it using the squash.
