Steps
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Make the pomegranate sticky glaze. In a medium bowl, combine the sweet Thai chili sauce, pomegranate juice, soy sauce, ginger and garlic.
Place the chicken and squash on a parchment lined baking sheet with the chicken at one end and the squash at another. Toss the chicken with half of the pomegranate sticky sauce, reserving the rest for serving. Toss the squash with olive oil, honey, salt and pepper.
Transfer to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the squash is tender. Halfway through cooking, Rotate the pan and spoon any sauce that has settled on the bottom of the pan over the chicken.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle the pomegranate arils over the chicken. Serve the chicken and squash over a bowl of rice drizzled with the remaining reserved pomegranate sticky sauce (see note). Garnish with pomegranate arils.

Kimberly on 2025-01-24 (5 stars): This is a favorite and I'm making it almost weekly now! This needs more love people!!! So much flavor and so high in antioxidants! I use acorn squash but I love pomegranates and buy a bunch around the Holidays! I love using quinoa instead of rice.
Susanne on 2022-06-28 (5 stars): I LOVE chicken and squash but never used acorn squash before. I made it tonight and it is DELICIOUS. My man even told me to put it in my recipe book immediately because it’s a winner. The chicken was juicy, the squash was perfect. Thank you! Awesome meal and for how fancy it looks, super easy for a weeknight.
J on 2020-11-11 (1 stars): We didn’t really like this one. The sugars in the recipes caused a ton of smoke in my oven and made everything taste like smoke. Also, looked nothing like the pictures. Chicken was a pinkish color and cooked super fast (because of said smoke) and squash took a lot longer. Won’t be making again.
Marta on 2019-11-15 (5 stars): It was super delicious. I ended up doing twice as much sauce because it was more liquidy ( missed the tip to thicken it up by cooking ), added a bit of Ponzu to it as well. It really took 35 minutes and smelled amazing.
Amy on 2018-10-23 (5 stars): We loved this! I used delicata squash, and served it over baby arugula and brown rice, so even MORE texture and color. I should have taken a photo, it was gorgeous plated. Thanks for a great recipe!
leslie on 2018-10-03 (5 stars): Yes I know this is two years later, but this is so tasty
I made this last night, I really really was going to take a picture, but the smell was so good I forgot, My husband even like the rice, but he love the pomagranate arils.
Colleen Metzler on 2018-04-27 (5 stars): Love this recipe!! My kids ask me to make it often. So easy and packs a ton of flavor. Love it with your coconut rice. YUUUUUMY!
