Chicken Salad in Acorn Squash
acorn squash
chicken breasts or rotisserie chicken
low-fat mayonnaise
low-fat sour cream or plain yogurt
vinegar (whatever you have on hand)
dried cranberries
roasted cashews
salt and pepper
Cut the squash in half, cleaning out seeds with a spoon, and microwave or roast until desired tenderness.
Meanwhile, poach chicken and shred with forks or shred a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken (a great way to use leftovers). Drop into a medium bowl. Add mayo, sour cream and a splash of vinegar, using just enough to moisten the chicken. Stir in cranberries, cashews and salt & pepper to taste. (Note: it's easy to substitute or add other ingredients like pine nuts, celery, onion, grapes, etc.)
Spoon chicken salad into the warm squash halves and serve immediately.
