- 1 Large (4-5lb.) spaghetti squash
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 (14.5 oz.) can chopped artichokes, drained
- 1 pkg frozen spinach, thawed
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 3/4 cup provolone cheese, divided
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 1 cup crushed Sea Salt Riceworks
- salt & pepper to taste
-
Preheat oven to 415 degrees F.
-
Place the spaghetti squash in the microwave for 5 minutes to soften enough to cut. Cut in half (length wise).
-
Scoop out the seeds and pulp from the middle.
-
Place squash cut-side-down in a microwave-safe dish. Add about an inch of water. Microwave for 10-12 minutes, until squash pierces easily with a fork.
-
While that’s cooking, heat a large pan over medium heat. Add the tablespoon of olive oil and the diced onion.
-
Cook for 4-5 minutes (until onion is soft).
-
Add the diced red pepper and garlic.
-
Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until veggies start to caramelize and are soft.
-
Remove from heat, and add chicken, artichokes, chopped spinach, Greek yogurt, 4 oz. of the cheese, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
-
Stir well to completely combine.
-
Once the squash is done in the microwave, carefully scrape each squash half with a fork to create the noodles.
-
Add to the chicken mixture and stir to combine.
-
Divide the mixture among the two squashes and top with crushed Riceworks and the remaining cheese.
-
Place back in oven and cook for 10 minutes longer, or until heated through.
-
Remove from oven and serve immediately.
