Notes

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of smoked paprika to the stuffing. Make sure the butternut squash is ripe and firm for the best results. You can prep the vegetables and chicken ahead of time and assemble the dish just before roasting. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven, adding a bit of fresh feta and walnuts before serving for best texture.
