Ingredients

    1 butternut squash (any squash will do)
    8 oz chicken breast
    1 med. vidalia onion
    1/4 cup green pepper
    2 TBLS olive oil
    Low fat Chicken stock

    1/2 tsp dried cilantro
    1/2 tsp seasoned pepper
    Chopped Walnuts
    Sea Salt to taste

Directions

Peel and cube squash. Cube chicken breasts. I use boneless skinless free range fillets. In an iron skillet, add olive oil and sautee chicken breasts with spices, onion and green pepper. Add squash and chicken stock and simmer until squash is soft. Add chopped walnuts and season with hot sauce. Salt to taste.
Mushroom slices are also a good additive.

    Delicious! I was a little hesitant about this, but it was one of the best dinners I've made in a while- and my whole house smells good. I'll CERTAINLY be making it again. I served it over couscous and added mushrooms! - 2/28/09

    Very Good
    Rather complicated to make. I used acorn squash, and peeling it was a nightmare. I would suggest perhaps boiling the squash in the chicken stock before trying to cube it so the skin peels off more easily. Other than that, spectacular meal. My husband couldn't say enough good things about it. - 3/17/09
