Chicken Spaghetti Squash image

In this twist on a classic Southern dish, the noodle-like strands of crisp-tender squash find their way into a creamy chicken and vegetable casserole.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large spaghetti squash (about 2 1/2 pounds)
2 tablespoons olive oil
One 10-ounce package sliced mushrooms
1 red bell pepper, diced
4 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup half-and-half
2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (skin and bones discarded)
3 cups shredded Cheddar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Cut the squash in half crosswise using a serrated knife. Dig out and discard the seeds with a spoon. Place into an 8-by-8-inch microwave-safe casserole dish with 2 tablespoons water. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and microwave on high until the squash is very tender and the inside can easily be flaked with a fork, 13 to 14 minutes. Use a fork to scrap the sides of the squash, separating the strands. Leave the scraped strands in the squash. Drain and dry the casserole dish.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until they have released most of their moisture and start to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the bell pepper, scallion whites, cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until the peppers are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the half-and-half and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the liquid has reduced slightly and starts to thicken, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Fold in the chicken and 2 cups Cheddar and stir until the cheese has melted. Add the spaghetti squash strands and stir until well combined. Transfer the squash mixture to the casserole dish and sprinkle the top with the remaining Cheddar. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbling, 17 to 20 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the scallion greens before serving.

CHICKEN PAPRIKA



Chicken Paprika image

My whole family, full of picky eaters, loves this dish, and it's great for freezing and reheating on a cold day or for an easy dinner on cold nights. This dish comes out as more like a stew than a meat with a sauce. Serve over egg noodles or hot cooked rice. Goes great with fresh, crusty pumpernickel bread for hearty winter meal. Easy to make and can be kept on low heat on the stove for lengthy parties.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH BOATS WITH CHICKEN



Spaghetti Squash Boats with Chicken image

These easy and healthy spaghetti squash boats are stuffed with creamy chicken, bacon, spinach, and cheese. A comforting low carb recipe!

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Main Course

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 medium spaghetti squash (about 2 pounds each)
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 strips thick-sliced center-cut bacon (roughly chopped)
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups baby spinach (torn into pieces)
1/2 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
1 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese (divided)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil (plus additional for serving)

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Roast the spaghetti squash according to this recipe for Roasted Spaghetti Squash. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large saucepan over medium and add the bacon. Cook until the bacon is crisp and the fat has rendered; about 8 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and pat dry.
  • Discard all but 1 tablespoon bacon fat from the pan and increase the heat to medium-high. Add the chicken pieces to the pan and season with garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Sauté until the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat, then add the spinach. Stir the chicken and spinach together until the spinach wilts, then stir in the Greek yogurt, half of the mozzarella cheese, and basil.
  • Once the squash is cool enough to handle, use a fork to shred and fluff the inside flesh so it's no longer attached to the walls and makes a "nest."
  • Divide the chicken filling evenly among the boats, using a fork to lightly mix it with the spaghetti squash. Arrange the stuffed squash on a baking sheet and sprinkle with the reserved bacon and remaining mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake until the cheesy is bubbly, about 10 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes, then serve hot, sprinkled with additional fresh basil.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH CHICKEN



Spaghetti Squash with Chicken image

I've always wanted to try spaghetti squash but most of the recipes I see are meatless. I like meat. So with that said, I kept it on the healthy side and used ground chicken. I made this for my family and even my 5-year-old who hates veggies loved it, although I did tell him it was just spaghetti.

Provided by Junia Sonier

Categories     Spaghetti Squash Recipes

Time 1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 (4 pound) spaghetti squash
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

½ large yellow bell pepper, chopped
½ cup minced red onion
½ pound ground chicken
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Pierce squash all over with a sharp knife for ventilation and place on a rimmed baking sheet.

  • While the squash is baking, combine parsley, basil, and oregano in a small bowl. Put cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, and onion in a separate bowl. Set both aside.

  • Remove squash from the oven and let cool slightly. Slice in half and remove seeds.
  • Add olive oil and garlic to the skillet used to cook the chicken; cook over medium heat until you can smell the garlic, about 1 minute. Add fresh herb mixture and saute for 1 minute. Stir in the vegetable mixture and saute just until they have softened slightly, about 3 minutes. Add ground chicken.
  • Take a fork and shred one half of the spaghetti squash lengthwise into the skillet. Mix well and saute for about 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining spaghetti squash.
  • Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper and serve.
