Calabaza con pollo

[Celeste Grimes Walker]

I am looking for a whole30 approved recipe for calabaza con pollo. My mom makes it with yellow summer squash, chicken & comino spice. I have lots of squash from my garden that I would like to use but need a recipe. Has anyone tried it on WHOLE30?

TIA,

Celeste

I would suggest using your mom's recipe (those are the best) and not using anything that's not allowed (For example, corn). I found a recipe similar to the one my mom used, and made it whole30:

1 (2 1/2 to 3 lb) chicken, cut up

1/2 c. onion, chopped

1/2 c. green pepper, chopped

1 lg. tomato, chopped

2 tsp black peper

3 cloves garlic (minced)

1 tbsp. comino

1 tbsp. garlic powder

1 tbsp. sea salt

1-2 tbsp coconut oil

1-2 cups chicken broth

1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce

3 to 4 Mexican squash, cut in pieces, cubed (or any type of squash)

Brown chicken in oil in skillet, then add chopped onion, green pepper, tomato & saute for a minute. Add spices to chicken and mix. Add cut up squash. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.

You can even make a side of Mexican cauliflower rice, using the similar spices for the "rice", such as garlic powder, comino, etc.

Gosh that sounds good... I will have to make this again soon!
