Caught the tail end of a cooking show and saw they put together butternut squash with a crumb topping. So I got to thinking... and this is what we ended up with... I didn't really measure so these are just estimated amounts, watch and see what looks balanced. And as far as taste goes, feel free to add more herbs and spices if it seems too mellow when you are eating it.
Bake a halved butternut squash (sliced lengthwise and remove seeds) in the microwave for about ten minutes each.
Peel the squash and cut into inch cubes.
Sauté a thinly sliced onion in a 2-3 TBs butter. As soon as the onion starts to glisten, add the butternut cubes and a bit more butter so everything is coated. Add cooked shredded/cubed chicken, a cup or two. Stir altogether. Salt and pepper well.
I added about a cup of cooked/pureed pumpkin and 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice. Combine well.
When it is all glistening and warmed through, remove from heat and pour into 9x13 baking dish.
Make a topping by combining equal parts shredded sharp cheese and bread crumbs (Italian seasoned) (if fine crumbs, use a little less) and add rosemary and thyme. about 1 tsp if dried and 1 Tb if fresh. Mix and spread evenly on top of squash mixture.
Cover with foil. Bake at 350 for about 20-30 minutes.
