Ingredients
- 1 medium spaghetti squash (approx. 3 lbs or 1.4 kg)
- 2 chicken breasts (approx. 8 oz or 225 g each)
- 1 cup of Alfredo sauce (approx. 240 ml)
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil (approx. 15 ml), Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese (approx. 50 g), Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Place the squash cut side down on a baking sheet and roast for about 40 minutes, or until the squash is tender.
- While the squash is roasting, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, and cook them in a skillet over medium heat until they're cooked through.
- Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest.
- When the spaghetti squash is done, use a fork to scrape out the 'spaghetti' strands.
- Cut the cooked chicken into slices and mix it with the spaghetti squash strands and Alfredo sauce.
- Serve the mixture in the squash shells, top with grated Parmesan cheese, and garnish with fresh parsley.
