CALABAZA CON POLLO (SQUASH WITH CHICKEN)



Calabaza con Pollo (Squash with Chicken) image

This is a wonderful chicken and vegetable dish that I grew up with in Texas. I love the way my mother cooks so I asked her for the recipe but of course she grew up not using measuring utensils so this recipe is my interpretation of her recipe. Also, I used three squash varieties just because. I believe it is healthy, apart...
