Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 cup finely diced acorn squash
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 1 stalk celery, chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 2 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour for coating

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
