The key to tender noodles, is making sure to bake your squash for at leave 35 minutes. Also make sure to add olive oil to the flesh. This helps the flesh to not burn and to become tender.
Substitutions:
Vegetarian Option- To make this dish vegetarian, simply omit the chicken.
Other meat options- This recipe is also delicious with flank steak or sirloin steak bits. Swap out the chicken 1 to 1 with the steak. You could also swap the chicken out for 1 pound of Italian Sausage. Brown the Sausage and then follow the directions for cooking and adding in all the other ingredients.
