This chicken butternut squash curry is very flavorful and full of protein, fiber and phytonutrients. The addition of the apricots adds a mild sweetness to the dish. —Sharon Collison, Newark, Delaware

Ingredients

1 medium butternut squash (about 3 pounds), cut into 3/4-inch cubes
1 large red onion, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon salt, divided
3/4 teaspoon pepper, divided
1-1/2 cups water
1-1/2 cups uncooked whole wheat couscous
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken broth
3/4 cup coarsely chopped dried apricots, divided
3 cups coarsely shredded rotisserie chicken
1 can (15 ounces) garbanzo beans or chickpeas, rinsed and drained
Minced fresh cilantro, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°. Place squash and onion in a 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with curry powder and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper; toss to coat. Roast 25-30 minutes or just until squash is tender, stirring halfway.
In a small saucepan, bring water and remaining oil to a boil. Stir in couscous. Remove from heat; let stand, covered, 5 minutes or until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
Meanwhile, in a 6-qt. stockpot, combine broth and 1/2 cup apricots; bring to a simmer. Add chicken, garbanzo beans, squash mixture and remaining salt and pepper; heat through, stirring gently. Serve with couscous; top with remaining apricots. Sprinkle with cilantro if desired.
