I didn’t really use a recipe, but this is what I sort of put together for it…
1 pkg ground chicken
1 medium apple, cored and chopped
1 large bag spinach
orzo
acorn squash
~1 C shredded cheese (I used gruyere)
preheat oven to 350
cut ends off acorn squash then cut squash in half. clean the seeds out.
I would recommend cooking the squash for about 20 minutes before adding the mixture. You can add a little butter to the hollow for flavor while doing this.
For the mixture:
Make orzo following instructions (you could use rice instead). Probably make 3-4 servings
In a large saucepan, sautee the spinach in a little olive oil to soften it. Put in a bowl and set aside
Brown the chicken in the same pan
Once the chicken is browned, mix in the spinach, apple and orzo together
Stuff the squash halves with the mixture.
Bake for about 25-30 minutes, until acorn squash is tender to a fork poke.
*this mixture could be cooked in ramekins or in a casserole dish with biscuits/crust to make it more kid friendly, if need be.
