Roasted Butternut Squash and Chicken with Quinoa – Gluten Free
This Spicy Roasted Butternut Squash with Chicken and Quinoa is a tasty gluten free meal with some kick! The squash is roasted with garlic and shallots and makes this dish so delicious.
Heat oven to 400 and line a baking sheet with foil
Toss diced squash, shallots and garlic with olive oil, chili flakes, sea salt & pepper
Spread evenly onto baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure it doesn't burn (check with a fork for tenderness)
Meanwhile cook quinoa according to package directions
In a small sauce pan, heat 1 ½ tablespoons of olive oil over medium low heat. Add the remaining thinly sliced shallots and stir until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and stir for about another minute or two until the garlic has also softened
Stir cooked quinoa together with the roasted squash, cooked chicken (I use chili lime ) and sautéed shallots with garlic
