Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and remove seeds. Brush cut sides with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. Place squash cut-side down on a baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes until tender.
  4. While baking, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken until golden brown; set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, sauté diced onion until translucent. Add minced garlic and spinach; cook until wilted.
  6. Stir in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Mix in cream cheese, Greek yogurt, parmesan cheese, thyme, red pepper flakes (if using), and cooked chicken until well combined.
  7. Scrape spaghetti-like strands from baked squash and mix some with the filling.
  8. Fill each squash half with remaining filling; top with extra parmesan cheese.
  9. Bake filled squash halves for an additional 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and golden.
  10. Let cool for five minutes before serving; garnish with parsley.
