    Made this recently and it was a big hit. Gorgeous flavours and a great way to take advantage of the current crop of squash!

    Had this last night, substituting a small pumpkin from the garden for the squash and a farmers' market guineau fowl for the chicken and it was fab. Wonderful autumny flavours which I'm sure we will have again soon.

    Super easy dish! Made it with whole chicken and used Balsamic vinegar instead of sherry, lovely flavours. Reheats well as an extra bonus.

    Really easy. Used chicken breasts (with skins of course) as thats what I had in the fridge. Tasted good. Think I'll try sweet potato next time. The Balsamic idea sounds good though.

    Great recipe. I used a whole chicken and added potatoes to it, then added the rest half an hour later as per recipe. To be honest, I didn't need to add the potatoes, the squash was enough. The whole family loved it, I'll be making this again! They all thought I slaved in the kitchen when I didn't (I got my husband to slice the squash though).

    I made it for my husband who only really likes red meat and he loved it. I will be making this again as it was so easy I even got time to play with the dog! Going to try it with the balsamic.

    Just cooked this dish and whilst it was easy, it was also sickly! Very bland and very greasy. Will not be cooking this again. So disappointed as it looks great and I love Squash!

    This is a fantastically easy recipe and so tasty. I've passed it on to several friends who needed an introductory recipe for using butternut squash and it's been a great success every time

    Very flavourful with the sticky squash and the yummy chicken - would definitely recommend - great with a dollop of mash!
