This Chicken Parmesan Is a Winter Dinner Winner

Ingredients

3 cups cubed butternut squash (1/2-inch)

1 large red onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage, plus additional leaves for garnish

3/4 teaspoon salt, divided

2 cups sliced cremini mushrooms

2 cups chopped and stemmed lacinato kale

1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic

1/4 cup whole-wheat flour

1 large egg, lightly beaten

2/3 cup whole-wheat panko breadcrumbs

1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

4 (4-ounce) chicken cutlets

1 cup butternut squash pasta sauce

3/4 cup low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese

2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar

Directions

Position oven racks in middle and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 400°F. Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with foil.

Toss squash, onion, 1 1/2 teaspoons oil, sage and 1/4 teaspoon salt together on 1 of the prepared baking sheets. Roast until just tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven; stir in mushrooms, kale, garlic and 1/4 teaspoon salt; set aside.

Place flour, egg and panko in 3 separate shallow dishes. Add Parmesan to the panko; stir to combine. Sprinkle chicken evenly with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Dredge 1 cutlet in the flour; shake off excess. Dip in the egg; let excess drip off. Dredge in panko to coat; place on a plate. Repeat with the remaining cutlets.

Heat the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to the remaining prepared baking sheet. Spread each cutlet with 1/4 cup pasta sauce; top evenly with mozzarella. Bake the chicken on the middle rack and the vegetables on the lower rack. until a thermometer inserted in the thickest portion of chicken registers 165°F and the mushrooms are tender and the kale is crisp, about 15 minutes, stirring the vegetables halfway through. Remove both baking sheets from the oven. Add vinegar to the vegetables; toss to coat.
