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

1. 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. 2. 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. 3. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest. 4. When the spaghetti squash is done, use a fork to scrape out the 'spaghetti' strands. 5. Cut the cooked chicken into slices and mix it with the spaghetti squash strands and Alfredo sauce. 6. Serve the mixture in the squash shells, top with grated Parmesan cheese, and garnish with fresh parsley.
