I've been looking for more chicken recipes on Bon Appetit, and the recipe for Braised Chicken Thighs with Squash and Mustard Greens really caught my eye. After giving it a try, I must say, it was amazing! It can be eaten as is or served over rice, and I really like that it can be modified a lot. If you don't have an acorn squash, you can use butternut and if you dislike mustard greens, you can use kale, spinach or Swiss chard!
