Stuffed Kabocha Squash
- 1 whole Kabocha Squash, Seeded And Quartered
- 1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil, Melted
- 1 Medium Sized Sweet Onion
- 1 Broccoli Stalk, Or Substitute 1 Small Zucchini
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1/2 Golden Or Yellow Apple
- 1/2 pounds Ground Chicken
- 1- 1/2 Tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
- 1.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Brush the insides of the squash quarters with melted coconut oil.
- Place them on a baking tray and roast them in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the squash is tender but still holds its shape.
- Then remove it from the oven and set aside.
- 2.
- While the squash is roasting, dice the onion and broccoli.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the onion and broccoli and saute for about 4-5 minutes.
- Core and dice the apple while this is cooking.
- 3.
- After 4-5 minutes, turn the heat to medium high and add the chicken and apple into the onion mixture.
- Brown all the ingredients for about 2 minutes.
- Add the balsamic vinegar, turn the heat down to medium and cook until the chicken is no longer pink.
- 4.
- Divide the chicken mixture equally and stuff it into each of the squash boats.
- Heat for 10 minutes at 375 to 400 degrees F. (I have a convection oven here in Japan, so when I convert recipes back for a conventional oven it is not an exact science.
- All you want to do is get the stuffed squash piping hot without getting the stuffing too brown.)
- This is a great make-ahead dish as you can prepare the boats earlier in the day and simply reheat as needed in the oven.
- I dont recommend using a microwave (ever) because it will toughen up the squash and dry out the filling.
- Also, if you have any leftover filling, it makes a great breakfash hash topped with a fried egg!
