Preheat your oven to 400 F.
Brush the squash with olive oil and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, 2 delicata squash
Place the squash face down on a baking sheet and roast until soft, about 30 minutes.
In a large saucepan placed over medium heat, sauté the onion, garlic, carrot, and celery in 1 tbsp. of the cooking fat until softened.
1 medium onion, 1 large carrot, 2 celery stalks, 2 garlic cloves, 2 tbsp. Paleo cooking fat
Add the chicken and cook until done (about 8 minutes).
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into cubes
Add mushroom and cook for another minute or two.
6 oz button mushrooms
Add the coconut milk, parsley, salt, and pepper to taste. Give everything a good stir at this point, if the sauce is not thick enough for your taste, you can add some tapioca starch.
1 can full-fat coconut milk, ¼ cup fresh parsley, Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, 1 tbsp. tapioca starch
Once the squash is ready, let it cool for a few minutes until it’s just cool enough to handle. Then use a fork to scrape out the flesh and set it aside.
Add a generous amount of squash flesh to each bowl. Top with a good portion of the creamy chicken sauce and serve.
