Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium spaghetti squash
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into small cubes
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 8 ounces fresh spinach
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, plus extra for topping
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut each spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and remove seeds. Brush cut sides with olive oil, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Place squash cut-side down on a baking sheet and bake for 30–35 minutes until tender.
  3. While baking, heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook cubed chicken until golden brown; set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, sauté diced onion until translucent. Add minced garlic and spinach; cook until wilted.
  5. Pour in chicken broth and stir in cream cheese and Greek yogurt until smooth. Add parmesan cheese, thyme, and cooked chicken; simmer briefly.
  6. Use a fork to shred the baked squash strands, mix with filling, then fill each squash half with remaining mixture. Top with extra parmesan and bake again for 10–15 minutes until melted.
