Ingredients
>
2 medium butternut squash (2 1/2-3 lbs each)
>
1 tbsp olive oil
>
1/2 (24 oz) bag Skinny Butcher Crazy Crispy® Chicken Tenders
>
1 1/4 cups marinara sauce
>
1 (8 oz) pkg shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
>
Chopped fresh parsley, to garnish
Steps
1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Trim stems of butternut squash and cut in half lengthwise. Brush cut sides of squash with the oil. Season with salt and pepper.
2
Arrange squash cut-side down on a large rimmed baking sheet. Bake 40–45 min., until tender. During the last 15 min. of baking, add the chicken strips to the baking sheet.
3
Remove squash and chicken from oven. Carefully turn squash over and let cool 10 min. Scoop out and discard seeds with a spoon. Leaving a ½-inch border, scoop flesh from each squash and transfer to medium bowl. Cut the chicken into pieces. Fold chicken into mixture along with the marinara sauce and half of the cheese. Season with salt and pepper and mix to combine.
4
Meanwhile, heat the broiler on high. Spoon chicken mixture into each squash half. Top with remaining cheese. Broil 2–4 min, until chicken is heated through and cheese is melted and lightly browned in spots. Garnish with the parsley.
