Last night I whipped up this winner (and when I say winner I mean for the adults of the household- Rob, Zach and me)...my littles enjoyed my leftover Baked Ziti from the weekend...just not into the arguments right now :/
As I meal-planned on Sunday, I tried to get a bit creative while remaining healthy and imagined a dish like this and thought, it wouldn't hurt to try and it was a winner all around...perfect dish for the fall too!
Here is how you make it:
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 large onion, diced
- 2 teaspoons crushed or minced garlic
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon of your seasoning of choice (I used Trader Joe's Everything But The Bagel Seasoning of course!)
- Ground Pepper to Taste
- 1 pound butternut squash diced
- 8 ounces frozen chopped spinach- defrosted and drained
- 1 bag cauliflower rice
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour or almond flour- either works seriously!
- 1 1/2 cups skim milk
- 1/2 cup shredded or grated Parmesan cheese- divided
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray 8 x 11" or 9 x 13" pan with cooking spray, and set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, add squash, spinach, and cauliflower.
- Melt oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, and stir fry 3-5 minutes until translucent. Stir in garlic, then add chicken, salt, seasoning, and pepper. Stir and cook, breaking up the meat into small pieces as it browns.
- Sprinkle flour over the meat, and stir to coat. Stir in milk, and bring mixture to a simmer, stirring often. Sauce will thicken after a couple minutes of simmering.
- Turn off heat, and stir in 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Pour meat mixture into bowl with squash and cauliflower. Stir well to combine.
- Spread mixture into prepared baking dish. Cover with foil, and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil, and bake 20 minutes longer, or until a knife can be easily inserted into squash pieces.
