Ingredients

  • 1 spaghetti squash

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1/2 cup pesto

  • 2 cups cooked and sliced chicken breast

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

  2. Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and dig out the seeds. Drizzle with olive oil, lightly season with salt and pepper.

  3. Place each squash half facing downwards in a baking dish and bake for 40-60 minutes, depending on the size of the squash. The spaghetti squash strands should be easy to fluff with a fork.

  4. Meanwhile, prepare the chicken. Cook ahead of time & slice.

  5. Toss the pesto with the chicken.

  6. Once the spaghetti squash is cooked, fluff it up using a fork, making sure that you scrape the strands off the sides of the squash.

  7. Evenly distribute the chicken pesto mixture across each half, making sure that you fold the chicken mixture in with the spaghetti squash strands.

  8. Place in oven and bake for 20 minutes or until warmed through.
