This recipe is easy to make, brimming with flavor and healthy too. Squash, the star of this easy fall-inspired dish, is one of those great hearty vegetables: cheap and filling, its perfect for those shopping on a budget.Smoky spices like chili powder and paprika are paired with sweet lime and honey and topped with a generous sprinkle of cilantro. —KvellintheKitchen

How much chicken for this recipe? Should it be chunked? What do you suggest serving it with? Rice?

I've just amended the ingredient list to add the chicken- my apologies! 2 lbs, not chunked. I suggest serving over rice or couscous.
