Рецепт Brown Rice Medley, Blueberry and Chicken Stuffed Squash
Brown Rice Medley, Dried Blueberries and Cooked Chicken are mixed together and then piled into a Acorn or Hubbard squash half, for a tasty and good for you meal!
I love this time of year!! Fresh fruit and vegetables abound. I always feel inspired this time of year....inspired to cook or bake fresh vegetables and fruits in new and delicious ways. This recipe happens to be a favorite of mine. It's perfect for lunch or supper. Brown Rice Medley, Chicken and Dried Blueberries blend wonderfully with Squash. One squash, cut in half...the most difficult part about making squash....seeds removed and then stuffed, makes for the perfect dinner for 2. You can double or triple this recipe with the same great results. You can leave the chicken out for a meatless meal and a Wild Rice blend can be substituted for the Brown Rice Medley~
