List of Ingredients

â—¦ 3 cups butternut squash, peeled and diced
â—¦ 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
â—¦ 2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
â—¦ ¾ teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
â—¦ 1 cup thinly sliced shallots
â—¦ 2 cloves garlic, minced
â—¦ 1 (14.5-ounce) can petite diced tomatoes, undrained
â—¦ 1 cup basmati rice
â—¦ 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
â—¦ 1 teaspoon curry powder
â—¦ 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
â—¦ ½ cup chopped green onions
â—¦ 2 large eggs
â—¦ ½ cup whole milk
â—¦ Garnish: sliced green onions


Recipe

Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, stir together squash, 1 teaspoon oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Arrange squash in an even layer on prepared baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, and set aside. Leave oven on.

In a large Dutch oven, heat remaining 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high heat. Add shallots; cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 8 minutes. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add roasted squash, tomatoes, rice, broth, curry powder, remaining 1 ½ teaspoons salt, and remaining ½ teaspoon pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and cook until liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.

Stir in chicken and green onions; spoon into prepared baking dish. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs and milk; pour over rice mixture.

Bake until squash is tender and eggs are cooked, about 30 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes. Garnish with green onions, if desired.
