  • 1 pound skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 pound butternut squash, cubed
  • 1 yellow onion, sliced
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoons ground paprika
  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed

  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes in juice
  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  2. Combine chicken thighs, butternut squash, onion, chicken stock, paprika, garlic, salt, marjoram, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, and pepper in an enameled cast iron Dutch oven. Pour tomatoes on top.
