Ingredients

Scale

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into small cubes
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 8 ounces fresh spinach
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened

  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for topping
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, divided

Instructions

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

  3. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat, cook cubed chicken until golden brown; set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, sauté onions and garlic until fragrant. Add spinach until wilted.

  6. Fluff the spaghetti squash strands with a fork and mix some filling with them. Stuff each half with the remaining filling and top with extra Parmesan cheese.
  7. Bake again for 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and golden brown.
