2 chicken legs, poached
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 cup chopped red onion

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (350 degrees F with convection) and wash the squash thoroughly. 2. Cut the squash in half and scoop out the seeds.

Put 1/2 tablespoon of butter in each squash half and sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake for another 15 minutes. Set each squash half (open side up) on a plate. 4. Heat a small saute pan with olive oil. Add onions and garlic and stir around until softened. Add chicken, chili powder, and cumin. Season to taste. Divide in half and fill each squash half. Serve.
