  • Total Time: 70

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium butternut squash
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded ((rotisserie chicken works great!))
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or rice
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup chopped onions
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley ((for garnish))

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures the butternut squash roasts perfectly.
  • Cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle the inside with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and cinnamon.
  • Place the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for about 30-35 minutes, until tender.
  • In a large bowl, mix shredded chicken, cooked quinoa or rice, honey, onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Combine until well mixed.
  • Once the squash is done roasting, carefully flip them over. Fill each half with the chicken mixture, pressing down gently to pack it in.
  • Return the stuffed squash to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your delicious creation!
