Using rotisserie chicken, packet gravy, and an Instant Pot for the butternut squash makes this dinner a snap. I set the Instant Pot on high for 15 minutes and the butternut squash came out with a texture that was easy to mash. The chicken heated up on low in the gravy and all that was left to do was to sauté the green beans in a quarter cup of water and a pat of butter.

I always love this homey dinner. After the first filling of plates I managed to say “No thank you” when John asked if I would like seconds. My first instinct is to share everything equally. I need to practice remembering that he is a foot taller than I am and can consume and burn calories better.
