Ingredients

• 3 cups (peeled and diced) butternut squash
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cups chicken breasts (cooked and shredded)
• 1 (diced) red bell pepper
• 1 (diced) yellow onion
• 3 (minced) garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 cup parsley (fresh, chopped)
• 4 eggs (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Place the diced butternut squash on the baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss to coat, then spread into a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized. Set aside.

Step 3

While the butternut squash is roasting, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, or until softened.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, or until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the shredded chicken to the skillet, along with the paprika, dried thyme, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the spices to coat the chicken.

Step 7

Gently fold in the roasted butternut squash. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until everything is heated through.

Step 8

Sprinkle the hash with freshly chopped parsley and adjust seasoning to taste if needed.

Step 9

If desired, top each serving of hash with a fried or poached egg for an extra layer of flavor and texture.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Chicken Hash with Butternut Squash!
