Ingredients

    1 large butternut squash
    1.5 lbs of Chicken Breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
    1 TB. flaked almonds
    2 medium onions, chopped
    1 tsp. GRANULATED GARLIC POWDER
    1/2-1 tsp. GINGER POWDER
    1/2 tsp. CRUSHED RED PEPPERS
    1 tsp. GROUND CORIANDER
    1 tsp. GROUND CUMIN
    1 tsp. BROWN MUSTARD SEEDS
    1/2 tsp. GROUND TURMERIC
    1.5 Cup coconut milk (a standard 14.5 oz. can)
    1-11/2 Cups baby spinach, roughly chopped
    1 TB. fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Peel the squash. Discard the seeds and cut the flesh into 1-inch pieces. Toast the almonds in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat for 5-7 minutes and set aside. Brown the chicken and set aside. Cook the onions until lightly browned, stirring regularly, 12-15 minutes. Add the GARLIC, GINGER, chili, CORIANDER, CUMIN, MUSTARD SEEDS and TURMERIC. Reduce heat to low and cook until fragrant, 3-5 minutes, stirring regularly. Add the squash. Stir and cover, simmer for 20 minutes until just tender. Add the chicken back in mid-way to absorb the flavors. Add the spinach and cilantro, and stir until the spinach is just wilted.

Serve with rice, topped with almonds. (rice not in calorie info)
