Notes
If you want to shred the squash and chicken while its cool, you can! Make both ahead of time and then reheat before adding the fresh vegetables.
If you or your family prefers to not eat out of the squash shell, simply scoop the contents of the squash into a 9x13" casserole dish.
Pickles, red onion and tomatoes make a great topping combo instead of the ones listed in this recipe.
