I adapted this from Cookin Canuck to be Paleo (the hunter-gatherer diet) because my hubs is participating in a 2 month challenge with his gym.

1 butternut squash (about 2 lbs) peeled, seeded & chopped into 1/2 inch pieces
4 cups chicken broth
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken (thighs or breast), cooked and shredded
1 Tbsp avocado oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1/2 tsp kosher salt
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 can (14.5 oz) petite diced tomatoes with green chiles
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley

Steam the squash pieces until just tender, about 10 minutes. Remove half of the squash, set aside, and continue steaming the remaining half until very tender, about 5 more minutes. Mash the very tender...
