Chicken and Corn Chowder in Buttercup Squash 



Instructions

1. 1

   With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F).

2. 2

   Cut each squash in half horizontally to form four bowls. With a spoon, scrape out the seeds until the inner surface is smooth. As the top of the squash is shallower, dig into the flesh if necessary. With a knife, score the flesh in a crisscross manner every 2.5-cm (1-inch) without piercing the skin. Brush with the oil and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Place 2 slices of bacon into each cavity. Place on a baking sheet. Bake for about 1 hour and 30 minutes or until the flesh is tender and the bacon is crispy. Remove the bacon and keep aside.
