Jillian Harris Inspired: Maple‑Dijon Chicken with Roasted Squash & Leeks

Sliced glazed chicken with roasted vegetables on creamy purée

This dish is cozy, comforting, and beautifully autumnal. Maple‑Dijon glaze gives the chicken a sweet‑savory shine, while roasted squash and leeks bring warmth and softness. It’s simple, wholesome, and exactly the kind of elevated home cooking Jillian is known for.
