I think you could just stick everything in the crock-pot. I would use frozen chicken breasts - they turn out more moist when in the crock-pot.

You can omit the butternut squash and make this a phase 1 recipe.
Cathy,
Have you tried this yet?
I made this last night, and it was fantastic! The butternut squash reminded me of a sweet potato flavor. The recipe called for 1 T. of sugar substitute, I believe, so I used (I think) like 5 packets of Splenda, and it still did not come up to quite a T., but it was sweet, so I don't think I would use more. The flavor was sweet, but with a bit of a kick with the cayenne. I eyeballed the cayenne since I like things hot. I also used a good bit of a spice called Cavender's seasoning. This is called a Greek spice, but I put it on absolutely everything I cook. And I mean EVERYTHING! It is great!
This was fantastic, and I cannot wait for lunch so I can have leftovers! I am so glad it came out well since I wrestled with that darn butternut squash for quite some time!LOL
