It’s not quite wordless Wednesday but I have a recipe for you and it’s mostly in picture form. I took enough pictures of the process I thought I would pull together a different kind of post for Slow Cooked Sage Chicken with Acorn Squash. Acorn squash? Who slow cooks chicken with acorn squash for their kids? The potatoes were gone and this acorn squash, not a favorite, was sitting on the counter for way too long. By the way, my daughter thought it WAS potatoes. Sure didn’t taste like potatoes to me.
1 roasting chicken 3-6 pounds
(You’re not delusional. It isn’t pictured)
1 acorn squash, peeled and cubed
1 red onion, sliced thin
2 cloves garlic, diced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon sage
1/4 teaspoon/3 grinds black pepper
1/4 cup water
1 Slow Cooker
Cannot wait for dinner!
Slow cooking it with just a bit of water keeps it juicy and flavorful.
Saving this one for dinner? Make sure to pin it!

Today I’m linking up with Nomday Monday
I just put this in the crockpot. I did it on low for an all day slow cook rather than high for 3:30, so hopefully that works just as well. Thanks for posting!
That should be fine. It will potentially still be more than long enough but if your squash gets really soft you could also mash/puree it afterward. That was my intent but I got lazy.
Aaah!!! I am so hungry as I’m looking at this. It looks so juicy!!!! Thanks for sharing at Nomday Monday!
Yum! Great ingredient pairing!
Thank you. It is fun to switch it up from the traditional potato, carrot and celery combo sometimes.
I loooove acorn squash!!!
I have a recipe for rice stuffed acorn squash I LOVE. I also think it would be great mashed with some ginger, cinnamon, and brown sugar.
