Chop a butternut squash into pieces, then peel it or carefully chop off the sides. Chop it into pieces. Set aside about 11oz worth of the butternut squash and reserve the rest for another recipe. Or, you can simply roast the remaining squash with olive oil, sea salt & pepper for your meal prep.
Add water to a shallow pot and bring it to a light simmer. Add a steamer basket to the pot, then toss in the butternut squash. Cover the pot and cook for roughly 15 minutes or until the squash can be easily pierced with a fork.
Add the squash to a food processor or blender, then add the remaining ingredients for the puree. Blend until smooth.
Set a nonstick skillet on medium heat and spray it with olive oil. Add the pieces of chicken breasts and cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, until the outside of the chicken is brown and it is about 90% cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Add olive oil, garlic, bell pepper and red onion to the skillet set on medium heat. After 3 minutes of caramelizing the onions and bell pepper, add cinnamon and stir. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the puree, coconut milk and goat cheese. Stir and bring to a light simmer. Season to taste with sea salt & pepper.
Add the chicken and frozen peas. Fold everything together.
To assemble the meal, add “rice” – steamed cauliflower rice or cooked brown rice – then top it off with the creamy butternut chicken.
Set oven to 420F.
Slice Brussel sprouts in half and toss them in a bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and gently toss the Brussels sprouts in the sauce.
Spread them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast in the oven for 12 – 15 minutes, or until the outside edges begin to get crispy.
Remove from the oven and serve immediately; if this is for meal prep, allow the sprouts to cool before packaging.
