Garlic Parmesan Stuffed Spaghetti Squash w/ Chicken & Spinach: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe

Ingredients

– 1 medium spaghetti squash
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced
– 3 cups fresh spinach, chopped
– 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
– 1 cup ricotta cheese
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Creating Garlic Parmesan Stuffed Spaghetti Squash w/ Chicken & Spinach is a straightforward process. Just follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat your oven: Set it to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare the squash: Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle the insides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

3. Bake the squash: Place the halves cut-side down on a baking sheet. Bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and easily shredded with a fork.

4. Cook the chicken: While the squash bakes, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil, and once hot, add the diced chicken. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

5. Sauté the spinach: Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the chicken, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant. Then add the chopped spinach, cooking until wilted.

6. Combine the filling: In a bowl, mix the cooked chicken, spinach, ricotta cheese, and half of the parmesan cheese until fully combined.

7. Stuff the squash: Once the squash has cooled a bit, use a fork to fluff the strands inside. Spoon the chicken and spinach mixture into the squash halves, packing it in generously.

8. Top with cheese: Sprinkle the remaining parmesan cheese on top of the stuffed squash.

9. Bake again: Return the stuffed squash to the oven, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

10. Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

By following these instructions, you’ll create a stunning and delicious Garlic Parmesan Stuffed Spaghetti Squash w/ Chicken & Spinach.
