Chicken Un-Parmesan Spaghetti Squash

Linette Gerlach
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1-2 spaghetti squash (depending on size
  • 1 pound chicken breasts
  • 32 ounces tomato sauce
  • 1- 6 ounce container mushrooms sliced
  • 1/2 red onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced

Instructions
 

  • Boil the spaghetti squash, whole in a large pot until soft when you push on it. You may need to turn the squash to get it cooked evenly, and if you put a lid on the pot it will speed up the cooking process.
  • While the spaghetti squash is cooking, brown the chicken in a large skillet with coconut or avocado oil. Before or while it's cooking, chop the chicken into bite size pieces.
  • Add the mushrooms, onion, and garlic into the chicken and saute all for a few more minutes.
  • Add the tomato sauce, oregano, basil and simmer for about 10 more minutes at a low heat.
  • Once the spaghetti squash is cooked through, remove it from the pot of water and let it sit for a few minutes until slicing it in half.
  • Remove the seeds from the middle of the squash and set them aside. Scrape out the "spaghetti" with a fork.
  • Put about 1 cup of spaghetti squash on your plate and cover with the chicken marinara sauce.
  • Enjoy!
