Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • 1 Large Skillet
  • 1 Spoon

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 delicata squash halved and seeded
  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
  • 1 cup fresh spinach chopped
  • 1 cup artichoke hearts chopped
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened

Seasonings

  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F. Cut the delicata squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Brush the inside with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in chopped spinach and artichoke hearts, cooking until the spinach is wilted.
  • Add softened cream cheese to the skillet, stirring until melted and combined. Mix in the shredded chicken and chicken broth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Spoon the chicken mixture into each squash half, filling them generously. Place the stuffed squash halves on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the squash is tender and the filling is hot and bubbly.

Serving

  • Allow the stuffed squash to cool slightly before serving. Pair with a side salad or crusty bread for a complete meal.

Storage

  • Store any leftover stuffed squash in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.

Notes
