Cooking Steps
Before starting, preheat the oven to 450˚F. Wash and dry all produce. Add squash, 1 tsp salt and enough water to cover (by approx. 1-2 inches) to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-high. Simmer uncovered until squash is fork-tender, 14-16 min. When squash is tender, drain and return it to the same pot, off heat. Mash in 1 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl) until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
While squash cooks, cut zucchini into 1/4-inch rounds. Add zucchini, chicken salt and 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) to an unlined baking sheet. Season with pepper, then toss to combine. Roast in the middle of the oven, stirring halfway through, until tender-crisp, 12-14 min.
While zucchini roasts, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high. While the pan heats, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with pepper and garlic salt. When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then chicken. Cook until golden-brown, 2-3 min per side. Transfer chicken to a plate.
Heat the same pan over medium. Add 1 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl), then swirl the pan until melted. Sprinkle flour over top, then whisk to combine, 30 sec. Gradually whisk in 1 cup water (dbl for 4 ppl), cream cheese, broth concentrate and garlic puree. Increase heat to medium-high. Cook, whisking often, until sauce is smooth and comes to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper.
Once sauce is simmering, add chicken and any juices from the plate. Reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook, flipping halfway through, until sauce thickens slightly and chicken is cooked through, 4-5 min per side.** Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Remove the pan from heat.
Thinly slice chicken. Divide mash, zucchini and chicken between plates. Spoon creamy garlic sauce over chicken.
