Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and gather all ingredients.
- Cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise, scoop out seeds, brush with olive oil, drizzle honey, and season with salt, pepper, and optional cinnamon.
- Place squash cut side down on a lined baking sheet and roast for 30-40 minutes until fork-tender.
- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet, add chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
- Add diced chicken to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes until no longer pink.
- Add smoked paprika, ground cumin, dried thyme, salt, and pepper, then toss in spinach and cook until wilted.
- Incorporate walnuts or pecans and feta cheese into the chicken mixture.
- Remove roasted squash from the oven, scoop out some flesh, and mix it with the chicken filling.
- Stuff the squash with the mixture, pressing gently to pack it in, and return to the oven.
- Bake for an additional 10 minutes, keeping an eye on it to ensure it doesn't dry out.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a side salad or steamed vegetables.
