    I made this without the squash. Cut the breasts into bite size pieces and cooked in the molasses mixture according to directions, served with brown rice. Really yummy!

    One thing that needs to be added is the squash needs to be peeled. I thought that was what needed to happen but I didn't do it because it did say to do so. Despite that the dish was totally DELICIOUS! The family devoured all of it and everyone went back for seconds till it was gone. Highly recommend to everyone.

    @Karin, thanks for pointing that out. I will edit the recipe to reflect the peeling of the squash. I'm glad you're family enjoyed it!

    Very good, but too much pepper in the original recipe. Other than that, it was outstanding!

    The glaze was tasty, but the squash and the chicken took different times to cook, and it really didn't taste all that good when both were finished.
