    Can substitute sweet potatoes or turnips for butternut squash.

    Easy and satisfying. I used sweet potatoes and thyme.

    This is fine-- used bone-in chicken breasts and I think it would definitely be better with thighs, and with a longer time in the marinade and a bit more salt. At the end of the day it's chicken roasted with veggies on a pan-- I thought the tarragon would do more for it given what a strong flavor it is, but I don't think this method brings out the oils in the herbs as much as it could.

    One of my favorites from this book. The chicken itself isn't super flavorful but is wonderful eaten with the onion and squash. It's worth going through the extra effort of buying tarragon.

    I made this twice in a span of about a week. First of all, the sweet potato (a suggested sub for the squash) and onions were incredible. Absolutely no notes there. I made the chicken as written the first time, which turned out flavorless. The second time, I marinated the chicken for roughly 8 hours in the roasting sauce. It was definitely better, though not quite the flavor bomb I'd expect given the amount of tarragon. Luckily, the roast veggies and other dishes were more than flavorful, and more flavor on the chicken would've been overwhelming. Even so, it's something to keep tweaking and is an easy one-pan meal.

    Juicy chicken. The broiler tip is essential for crisp skin. I overcrowded the pan but it still turned out okay

    Easy and decent tray-bake. I used turnips instead of the squash (she gives turnips as a sub). We liked this. It's not anything especially wonderful, but a good, homey, easy dinner. Served over polenta.

    Very good, I liked the tip to run the sheet pan under the broiler for a few minutes to ensure everything is browned. My onions did not carmelize as per the recipe title but were still good.
