Everyone will love this sweet and savoury chicken. Mix it up by using a variety of white and dark meat so that they all get their favourite pieces. Be sure to cut chicken breasts in half crosswise, through the bone, to make them more similar in size to the thighs and drumsticks. For a fun garnish, cut a lime in half to grill alongside the chicken for the last 10 minutes.

Stir 1/4 cup (60 mL) grated Parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast into the cooked and shredded squash if desired. Both offer lovely cheesy, nutty flavour.
The pink flesh of salmon looks lovely with the orange-and-green-flecked caramelized onions. If you wish, choose other types of tender fish, such as halibut, snapper, pickerel or tilapia.
If you prefer, use some of the pasta cooking liquid instead of the wine. Keep pantry staples, such as anchovy fillets and pasta, on hand for a quick impromptu meal. Don't forget the frozen staples, too, such as peas and shrimp.
