WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
- 1 Large Spaghetti Squash
- 1 Pack of Hidden Creek Chicken Breast
- 8 oz. Heavy Cream
- 8 oz. Whole Milk (possibly more to thin out sauce)
- 1 Cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 3 Cups of Baby Spinach
- 1 Red Bell Pepper Sliced
- 1 Jar of Aldi's Roasted Red Pepper Pesto (Optional but we highly encourage)
- Marinated Mozzarella Balls (Optional)
- 3 tbsp. Olive Oil
- 2 tbsp. Butter
- 1 - 2 tbsp. Flour or Corn Starch (your preference)
- Gold Label Musket Powder Seasoning to Taste
- Garlic/Salt/Pepper to Taste
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 400*
- Cut your spaghetti squash in half, long ways, & remove seeds as best as possible. (A trick that I like to use when making spaghetti squash, using a fork & poke holes all around the shell of the squash. Place whole squash in microwave for two minutes. This makes it so much easier to cut.)
- Once seeds are removed, drizzle olive oil & season to taste on the fleshy part of the squash. Place the flesh side of the squash downwards on a baking sheet, & when oven comes to temperature, place squash halves inside for 35-40 minutes. At the end of the 35-40 minutes of having your spaghetti squash in the oven, remove from oven & let cool.
- As squash is cooling, heat 1 tbsp. of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place seasoned chicken breasts in oil when it comes to temperature & cook until internal temperature reaches 165* Dice chicken now or later, it doesn't make much of a difference. Once chicken is cooked thoroughly, set it aside.
- In the same pan, add 1 tbsp. of olive oil and heat bell pepper & spinach until tender. Place to the side with chicken when complete.
- Now, using the SAME pan heat 2 tbsp. of butter and slowly whisk in flour to create a rue.
- Begin to whisk in heavy cream first & then milk. Once those ingredients have created a sauce like consistency, add in shredded mozzarella & our favorite roasted red pepper pesto if you wish. If your sauce is thicker than you'd like, you can add more milk until it becomes creamy.
- When your sauce is at the consistency that you prefer, add in vegetables & diced chicken and mix together.
- If there are any lingering seeds in your spaghetti squash, now is the time to remove them. Then, take a fork and shred the squash into 'spaghetti' but leave inside of the skin.
- Using a sauce spoon, scoop your chicken, vegetable & cream mixture over top of the spaghetti squash, creating a "boat."
- If you choose, place 3 mozzarella balls on top of the boat and place back in the oven for 10-15 minutes. We turned the broiler on low for the last 5.
