Butternut Squash Chicken Tikka Masala (Low FODMAP, GF, DF, SCD)

October 22, 2015 By Riley Leave a Comment

Low FODMAP Butternut Squash Chicken Tikka Masala

Winter squash has got to be one of my favorite vegetables- which means I love this time of year!  I love seeing new squash recipes arrive in my inbox and on my Facebook news feed.  I usually print them out and add them to a binder labeled “recipes to try”.

One of my favorite sources of recipe inspiration is an online Facebook group called “Low FODMAP Paleo Community” which is run by a lovely woman named Kelly.  She posts really awesome recipe ideas that can be adapted for a low FODMAP and/or paleo diet.

When I saw that Kelly posted the idea for this recipe adaptation, I knew I had to make it!  And boy am I glad I did- it is super flavorful and pretty simple to make!

Spiralizer

You will need one of these for this recipe.  I recommend the Paderno Spiralizer (pictured below).

I originally tried to buy a spiralizer at my local kitchen goods store and was extremely disappointed.  The one I got was so difficult to use that I ended up returning it and ordering this Paderno brand.

Two words: Game. Changer.

Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • For Butternut Squash Noodles:
  • 1 large butternut squash (neck portion only)- peeled & spiralized (watch this video to see how)
  • 1 T avocado oil
  • Sea salt & black pepper, to taste
  • For Chicken Tikka Masala:
  • 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1 T coconut oil (or extra virgin olive oil)
  • 1.5 cups chopped green onion (green part only for low FODMAP)
  • 2 garlic cloves (or 1 tsp garlic infused olive oil for low FODMAP)
  • 1.5 cups strained or pureed tomatoes (I like this glass-bottled brand)
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 T peeled and grated fresh ginger
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 1.5 tsp garam masala
  • 1.5 tsp ground coriander
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • ½ cup full-fat coconut milk (try Trader Joe's or use this gum-free product)
  • ½ cup freshly chopped cilantro
Instructions
  1. Instructions:
  2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. In a small baking dish, coat chicken breast with avocado oil.
  3. While oven is preheating, begin peeling & spiralizing butternut squash.
  4. Once the oven has preheated, add chicken breast and cook for 20-25 minutes or until no longer pink inside. Set aside.
  5. Turn oven temperature up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Once preheated, add squash "noodles" and cook for 15-18 minutes or until soft.
  6. While noodles are cooking, heat coconut oil in a large saucepan over low-medium heat. Add green onion and garlic, stirring until soft.
  7. Add strained or pureed tomatoes, lemon juice, ginger, cumin, garam masala, coriander, cayenne, and sea salt. Allow to cook for 5-10 minutes to combine flavors.
  8. While cooking, cut chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  9. Stir coconut milk, cilantro, and chicken into sauce. Cook 1 additional minute. Serve over butternut squash noodles.
Notes
Limit butternut squash to ¼ cup serving size for low FODMAP. Alternatively, for a lower FODMAP dish, you can skip the butternut squash and serve Chicken Tikka Masala over rice or quinoa.

If you do not have a spiralizer, try chopping the butternut squash into 1" cubes, roasting them for approximately 25 minutes at 400 degrees, and then topping with the sauce.

To use up the extra butternut squash, you can either cut it into cubes and roast it or add it to a soup or stew. Alternatively, you can cut it into cubes and freeze it for future use.

Allergies & Insomnia: Is There a Connection? In ho Allergies & Insomnia: Is There a Connection? In honor of May being National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month, I decided to share about this connection I’ve noticed in case it helps anyone else. I included my story with allergies and insomnia, what the research says, and some things that have helped me (Neti pot and Allegra are only the tip of the iceberg). Go to BridgetownNutrition.com or find the link to my blog in my profile.

NATURAL REMEDIES FOR HEADACHES AND MIGRAINES 🌱B NATURAL REMEDIES FOR HEADACHES AND MIGRAINES 🌱Between my husband and I, we have nearly four decades of experience suffering from headaches and migraines. BUT, we get them far less frequently than we used to. And dietary, lifestyle, and natural remedies are the reason. So I wrote up my top, research-based natural remedies for relief and prevention. Link is in my bio. #headache #migraine #naturalremedies

I feel so grateful to have this incredibly patient, funny, smart, and caring man in my life. 

Since this account is all about having hope in your struggles with “chronic” illness, I want to share part of my personal journey with you. In my early to mid 20s, I was trying to date while suffering from severe food intolerances and chronic digestive, skin, and other health issues. It felt incredibly frustrating and discouraging at times because I encountered people who looked down upon me as a future partner because of my health issues. 

But not this guy. He saw the strength I gained from my struggles. 

I knew he was a keeper when I developed my first UTI of our relationship (I was SUPER prone to them). While I rested and tried to recover naturally, he sat in a spot where he could see me and kept glancing over to check on me between cracking open each cashew. And after that, he wanted to learn everything he could to make sure he never contributed to me getting one again. Good news: I haven’t needed a course of antibiotics since then!

I just want you to know that good people are out there. Don’t feel hopeless. Be patient and true to yourself. Chronic illness can be one of life’s greatest teachers if you let it be.
