For the Sonoma Chicken Stuffed Butternut Squash:
- 1 medium-sized butternut squash
- 2.5 cups grilled or shredded chicken thighs about 1.5-2 pounds
- 1 cup red grapes halved
- 1 cup walnut pieces
- 1/2 cup semi-homemade ranch dressing

- 1 tablespoon lemon juice about 1/2 lemon

For the Butternut Squash and Brussels Sprouts:
Preheat oven to 375 F.
Cut the butternut squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Place squash on a rimmed baking sheet cut-side down and add 1/2 cup water to the pan. Bake for 60 minutes, until easily pierced with fork.
Remove the stems from the Brussels sprouts and cut in half. Toss with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and ¼ teaspoon sea salt. Spread out on a sheet pan and bake 30 minutes. You can do this at the same time as the butternut squash if there’s enough room in your oven.
