Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 medium spaghetti squash halved and seeds removed
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
For the Sauce
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese grated

Method
 

Prepare the Spaghetti Squash
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
  2. Place the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until tender.
Cook the Chicken
  1. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the chicken pieces, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.
Prepare the Sauce
  1. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, chicken broth, and heavy cream. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
  3. Add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Combine and Serve
  1. Once the spaghetti squash is done roasting, scrape the flesh with a fork to create spaghetti-like strands.
  2. Add the spaghetti squash strands directly into the skillet with the chicken and sauce. Toss everything together to combine.
  3. Sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese before serving.
