Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Main Course

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 medium spaghetti squash (about 2 pounds each)
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 strips thick-sliced center-cut bacon (roughly chopped)
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups baby spinach (torn into pieces)
1/2 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
1 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese (divided)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil (plus additional for serving)

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Roast the spaghetti squash according to this recipe for Roasted Spaghetti Squash. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large saucepan over medium and add the bacon. Cook until the bacon is crisp and the fat has rendered; about 8 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and pat dry.
  • Discard all but 1 tablespoon bacon fat from the pan and increase the heat to medium-high. Add the chicken pieces to the pan and season with garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Sauté until the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat, then add the spinach. Stir the chicken and spinach together until the spinach wilts, then stir in the Greek yogurt, half of the mozzarella cheese, and basil.
  • Once the squash is cool enough to handle, use a fork to shred and fluff the inside flesh so it's no longer attached to the walls and makes a "nest."
  • Divide the chicken filling evenly among the boats, using a fork to lightly mix it with the spaghetti squash. Arrange the stuffed squash on a baking sheet and sprinkle with the reserved bacon and remaining mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake until the cheesy is bubbly, about 10 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes, then serve hot, sprinkled with additional fresh basil.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large spaghetti squash (about 2 1/2 pounds)
2 tablespoons olive oil
One 10-ounce package sliced mushrooms
1 red bell pepper, diced
4 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup half-and-half
2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (skin and bones discarded)
3 cups shredded Cheddar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Cut the squash in half crosswise using a serrated knife. Dig out and discard the seeds with a spoon. Place into an 8-by-8-inch microwave-safe casserole dish with 2 tablespoons water. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and microwave on high until the squash is very tender and the inside can easily be flaked with a fork, 13 to 14 minutes. Use a fork to scrap the sides of the squash, separating the strands. Leave the scraped strands in the squash. Drain and dry the casserole dish.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until they have released most of their moisture and start to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the bell pepper, scallion whites, cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until the peppers are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the half-and-half and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the liquid has reduced slightly and starts to thicken, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Fold in the chicken and 2 cups Cheddar and stir until the cheese has melted. Add the spaghetti squash strands and stir until well combined. Transfer the squash mixture to the casserole dish and sprinkle the top with the remaining Cheddar. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbling, 17 to 20 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the scallion greens before serving.

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 1/2 pound spaghetti squash
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
Minced clove of garlic
1 cup chicken broth
12 ounces skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 cup milk or heavy cream
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup (packed) fresh parsley or basil leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. With a sharp knife, prick the squash in 2 to 3 places and set it on a baking pan. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove it from the oven, cut it in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Return the squash halves, cut side down, to the baking sheet and bake for another 30 minutes or until tender.
  • While the squash is cooking, heat the butter in a medium sized saucepan. Add the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring continuously. Add the garlic, broth and bring the mixture to a boil, whisking all the while. Add the chicken and simmer, uncovered, for 3 to 5 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Remove from the heat and stir in the milk or heavy cream. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper to taste; set aside and reheat over low heat when you remove the squash from the oven.
  • Remove the squash from the oven. With a fork rake the squash until it separates fully into strands and only the shell remains. Transfer the strands to pasta bowls. Remove the chicken sauce from the heat, stir in the cheese and parsley or basil and adjust the seasoning. Serve the sauce over the strands of squash.
