Step 1

Preheat oven to 375F. Place squash cut side up on a foil-lined, rimmed baking sheets. Add 1/4 in water to sheet. Bake until edges are golden brown and squash is easily pierced with the trip of a sharp knife, about 35 min. Set aside until just cool enough to handle.

In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil on medium. Add chicken and cook for 2 min. Flip chicken and add pear and sage. Saute, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through about 5 min. Transfer chicken, pears and an drippings into a large bowl.

With 2 forks, scrape stringy squash flesh from skin, separating into strands. Add squash flesh from skin to bowl with chicken mixture. Add chives and toss to combine. To serve, top with cheese.
