Ingredients

  • 2 Cups squash
  • 2 Cups Shredded chicken breast 1 large breast
  • 1/2 Cup Onion diced
  • 1/4 Cup celery diced
  • 1/8 Cup Green onions diced
  • 1-2 Tbsp Jalapeno peppers minced (depending if you want kick!)
  • 3/4 Cup Reduced- fat Cheddar cheese grated (divided)
  • 1/2 Cup Low sugar Maple syrup

  • 1/2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/8 tsp Pepper
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp Garlic minced

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Cut your squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Lay it cut side down on a cookie sheet and bake until fork tender (40-45 minutes)
  • While the squash cooks, put a large pot of water to boil. Once boiling throw in that chicken breast it is fully cooked (20-25 minutes)
  • Once the chicken is done, shred with 2 forks and set aside.
  • While all this cook-ery is happening, you can prep the veggies.
  • Dice the onion, celery, green onions and jalapenos peppers and put them all together into a large bowl.
  • Grate your 3/4 cup cheddar cheese and throw 1/2 cup of it into the veggie mixture. Set the remaining 1/4 cup aside.
  • Spray a 6 cup casserole dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Once the squash has cooked mix it, along with the shredded chicken, salt, pepper and minced garlic, into the diced veggie and cheese mixture.
  • In a separate small bowl, mix together the maple syrup and mustards. Combine with the squash mixture.
  • Pour everything into the prepared casserole dish.
  • Crush the pretzels and sprinkle them over the casserole, along with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, watching closely during the last few minutes to make sure the pretzels do no burn!
  • Wait a few minutes to cool and devour!!
