This recipe includes a grocery list of spaghetti squash, broccoli, chicken breasts, Alfredo sauce, and mozzarella cheese. The spaghetti squash is a low GI food, making it a great alternative to traditional pasta.
Ingredients
- 1 medium spaghetti squash (2-3 lbs or 1-1.5 kg)
- 2 cups of broccoli florets (200 g)
- 2 chicken breasts (400 g)
- 1 cup of Alfredo sauce (240 ml)
- 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese (50 g), Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Place the halves cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for about 40 minutes, or until the flesh is tender.
- While the squash is roasting, steam the broccoli until just tender and set aside.
- Cook the chicken breasts in a skillet over medium heat until no longer pink in the center. Cut into bite-sized pieces.
- Once the spaghetti squash is done, use a fork to scrape the flesh into strands and place in a large mixing bowl. Add the steamed broccoli, cooked chicken, Alfredo sauce, and half of the mozzarella. Stir until well combined.
- Transfer the mixture to a casserole dish and top with the remaining mozzarella. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
