This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also like to add some chopped walnuts or almonds for a bit of crunch.

The glaze is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I just cut back on the amount of maple syrup I used.

This dish was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the glaze was the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. The acorn squash and sweet potatoes were a great addition, and they roasted up perfectly in the oven.
