I am currently on the east coast staying with my mother. When I visit I cook several recipes for her freezer. This Butternut Squash and Chicken Chili is a perfect thing to freeze especially when it's FREEZING outside!

  • Prep: 15 mins
  • Cook: 40 mins
  • Yields: 4 Servings

Ingredients

1 tablespoon canola oil

2 medium carrots, chopped

2 celery ribs, chopped

1 medium onion, chopped

2 cups butternut squash, cubed and peeled

1 medium tomato, chopped

2 tablespoons tomato paste

1 envelope reduced-sodium chili seasoning mix

3 cloves garlic, minced

¼ cup chili powder

1 tablespoon ground cumin

2 teaspoons ground coriander

2 cups chicken stock

1 cup cooked chicken breast, cubed

fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Directions

1In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; sauté carrots, celery and onion until tender, 6 - 8 minutes.
