Time 1h28m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 small spaghetti squash, halved and seeded
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
¼ cup chopped white onion
1 clove garlic, minced
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
½ (15 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon ground paprika
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon shredded Parmesan cheese, or to taste
1 pinch dried oregano

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place spaghetti squash cut-side down in a nonstick baking pan.
  • Bake spaghetti squash in the preheated oven until tender when pierced with a fork, about 45 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack; cool until easily handled.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until onion softens, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in chicken breasts, tomatoes with juice, Italian seasoning, and paprika; cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat; spoon out excess liquid.
  • Scrape squash flesh into spaghetti strands using a fork. Stir squash strands into the skillet. Fold in remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil with a spatula. Season with salt and pepper. Serve in a pasta bowl garnished with Parmesan cheese and oregano.
