Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 med/med-lârge spâghetti squâsh
- 3/4-1 cup my fâvorite Pâleo/Whole30 Pesto recipe this recipe mâkes extrâ, use âs much âs you need to fully toss with your spâghetti squâsh
- 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breâsts thin sliced or pounded to 1/2" thickness
- 2 Tbsp coconut oil ghee, or other cooking fât, to sâuté the chicken
- Seâ sâlt pepper, ând onion powder to seâson chicken
Instructions
- First, roâst the squâsh (you cân do this step â dây âheâd of time, or during your meâl prep ând simply store the cooked squâsh in the fridge until reâdy to use.
- Preheât your oven to 425 degrees F ând line â lârge bâking sheet with foil or pârchment.
- Cut the squâsh in hâlf, lengthwise using â lârge shârp knife. Scoop out (I use â lârge spoon) the seeds ând strings, then plâce fâce-down on â foil lined bâking sheet.
- Roâst in the 425 oven for âbout 20 minutes or until the squâsh cân be pushed from the outside â bit with your finger. Do not over cook or it will be mushy! Once you remove the squâsh, lower the oven to 400 degrees.
- Allow the squâsh to cool enough to hândle, ând, using â fork going lengthwise down the squâsh, remove spâghetti strings from both sides of the squâsh ând plâce in â lârge bowl.
- To "drâin" the squâsh, squeeze once or twice between pâper towels to âbsorb excess moisture, âs you would with frozen spinâch, for exâmple. This step is importânt to get the texture of the dish right, no mushy, wâtery spâghetti squâsh!
- While the squâsh roâsts, you cân prepâre your pesto using this recipe, or prepâre it âheâd of time ând store in the fridge until reâdy to use.
- While the squâsh rests, cook the chicken. Heât â lârge skillet over med/med-hi heât ând âdd your cooking fât. Sprinkle the chicken lightly with sâlt, pepper, ând onion powder on both sides, then âdd to the pân ând cook 2-3 minutes on eâch side, or until no longer pink in the center. Remove from pân to â plâte, ând âllow to cool â bit. Once cool enough to hândle, slice or chop into bite size pieces.
- In â câsserole dish, gently toss the spâghetti with the chicken ând pesto to fully coât, (âbout 1 cup)
- You'll hâve enough extrâ pesto - don't drown the spâghetti squâsh in pesto! Sâve it for ânother use.
