Hoisin Chicken Thighs With Winter Squash
"An tasty and easy intercultural recipe courtesy of our local supermarket's (Hannaford) monthly cooking magazine. I think I might add a pinch of cayenne next time: a little hot would contrast nicely with the sweet of both the hoisin and the squash."

ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 chicken thighs, boneless and skinless and trimmed of fat
- 1 1⁄4 cups hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons garlic, minced

- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 1 bunch scallion, divided
- 1 1⁄2 lbs squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces
directions
- Cut the chicken thighs into 1-1/2" pieces and place in a large pot. Add hoisin sauce, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and toasted sesame oil. Toss to coat.
- Cut scallions, both whites and greens, into 1" lengths. Set aside ½ cup of the greens and reserve. There should be about 1-1/2 cups whites and greens remaining. Add these and the squash to the chicken and mix well.

I only came to cooking in my 50s, when we moved home to a tiny town with only a few restaurants. I'm always on the hunt for easy, flavorful recipes (often ethnic cuisines), and I'm always ready to try something new and different! In cold weather I gravitate to stews, soups, and casseroles of the not-too-heavy kind; in hot weather I love a salad or cold soup. Partly because of my husband's diabetes (I'm borderline) and partly out of indolence, baking is not my thing.
