Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut squash in half from the stem to the bottom of the squash. Scoop out seeds. Place squash on baking pan, cut sides up. Brush lightly with oil.
- Bake squash 45 minutes or until tender. Remove from oven, but do not remove squash from baking pan.
- Meanwhile, whisk Gravy Mix and water in small bowl; set aside. Melt butter in large skillet on medium-high heat. Add onion; cook and stir 2 minutes or until tender. Stir in gravy mixture. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Add chicken, rice, cranberries and pecans; cook and stir just until well mixed and heated through.
- Spoon rice and chicken mixture into center of roasted acorn squash halves. Sprinkle evenly with cheese.
- Bake 5 to 10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with parsley to serve.
