Chicken Chili Stuffed Acorn Squash Recipe is a complete meal. The natural sweetness of baked squash is combined with spicy chicken chili for a deliciously filling, south of the border.
Preheat the oven (or grill) to 400 °F. Wash the outside of the squash. Microwave the whole acorn squash for 3 to 3-1/2 minutes. Remove with hot pads or a towel.
Lay the squash on its side and slice the squash in half. Scoop out the seeds using a spoon. Put the squash in a baking dish lined with parchment paper. A loaf pan works well too.
Stir the salt, pepper, chili powder, and cumin together and sprinkle it over each half of the squash. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until the squash is fork-tender.
