Spiralize butternut squash, top with sweet Moroccan-spiced chicken, dried fruit, and almonds for a delicious meal.
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups spiralized butternut squash
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1.5 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon Moroccan spice mix (such as McCormick®), or to taste
  • 0.5 cup orange juice
  • 0.25 cup chopped dried apricots
  • 0.25 cup dried cranberries
  • 0.25 cup chopped dates
  • 0.25 cup almond slivers
  • 2 cups cooked rice
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) to achieve the perfect cooking temperature.
  • In a bowl, combine spiralized butternut squash with 1 tablespoon of oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat, then spread the squash onto a baking sheet.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until perfectly tender, for 7 to 10 minutes.
  • In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, melt butter with 2 tablespoons of oil. Season chicken with Moroccan spice, salt, and pepper. Cook covered, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
  • Combine orange juice, apricots, cranberries, and dates in a saute pan over medium heat. Cook and stir until the orange juice thickens, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add almonds and toss to coat before removing from heat.
  • Arrange a serving of butternut squash, cooked rice, chicken, and topping on each plate.
