Best Chicken Spaghetti Squash Casserole Recipes

SPAGHETTI SQUASH CASSEROLE WITH CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Drizzle cut sides of spaghetti squash with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on a sheet pan with the cut sides down.
• Roast in the preheated oven until a fork easily penetrates the skin, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside until cool enough to handle. Shred flesh with a fork until it resembles spaghetti noodles; transfer to a colander to drain for 20 minutes. Lower oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• While squash is draining, heat remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add ground chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until chicken is browned and crumbly with no pink remaining, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in spaghetti sauce.
• Transfer drained squash to a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Add sauce mixture, spinach, 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese and 1/2 of the Parmesan cheese; toss to combine. Sprinkle remaining cheeses over the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is bubbling and cheeses have melted, about 20 minutes.

CHEESY CHICKEN SPAGHETTI SQUASH CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Poke holes on all sides of the spaghetti squash with a metal skewer or a fork.
• Place a paper towel in microwave and place squash on top of paper towel.
• Microwave in increments of 3 minutes until flesh starts to get soft. I had a medium sized squash and microwaved for about 10 minutes.
• Let cool. Cut squash in half, lengthwise. Scoop the seeds and the middle strands out with a spoon and discard.
• Next, scrape the inside of the squash with a fork all the way to the skin. You should get strands that resemble spaghetti. Set aside.
• Season chicken with your favorite seasonings. Grill until done. Weigh out 4.5 oz of cooked chicken and then cut chop into pieces. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine melted butter, salt, pepper, Parmesan cheese with the yogurt and 2 oz. of shredded cheddar cheese.
• Stir in spaghetti squash until combined. Pour spaghetti squash mixture into an 8 inch casserole dish. Top with cooked chicken. Sprinkle the remaining ounce of cheese and dried basil over the top
• Put in oven and bake for 30 minutes. The casserole is ready when the top is a light golden brown, which makes for a crunchy crust! Serve immediately.
• 1 Servings with 1 Lean, 3 Greens, 2.8 Condiments and 1/2 Healthy Fat per serving
• *If you would like to use cooked 93% ground beef, you will need 3.75 oz cooked. For shrimp, you will need 5.25 oz cooked. Remember, the meat will be divided into 2 servings so you will actually be eating 1.8 oz of beef and 2.6 oz of shrimp per serving.
