CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI TWICE-BAKED SPAGHETTI SQUASH



Chicken and Broccoli Twice-Baked Spaghetti Squash image

Provided by Katie Lee Biegel

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h5m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 medium spaghetti squash (2 1/2 to 3 pounds)
1 cup broccoli florets
2 cups 2% milk
1 clove garlic, smashed
4 ounces Neufchatel cheese (or 1/3 less fat cream cheese)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cooked chicken breasts, diced (use rotisserie chicken for a shortcut)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • With a sharp knife, carefully cut about four 1/2-inch slits in the squash to allow steam to escape while it cooks. Put the squash on a baking sheet and roast for about 1 1/2 hours. Let the squash cool for about 20 minutes on the baking sheet.
  • Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a bowl and prepare an ice water bath. Blanch the broccoli briefly in the boiling water, then transfer to the ice bath to cool. Drain and set aside.
  • Cut the squash in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds. With a large fork, pull the squash fibers away from the outer peel (use a towel to hold the squash in place if necessary). Reserve the squash and the outer peel.
  • Preheat the broiler.
  • Put the milk and garlic in a saucepan over medium-high heat and heat until it just begins to simmer, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, add the Neufchatel cheese, Parmesan and 1 cup of the mozzarella and stir until melted. Turn off the heat, stir in the yogurt and season with salt and pepper. Remove the garlic. Add the squash, chicken and broccoli and toss to coat. Divide the mixture between the reserved squash peels. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella.
  • Place the stuffed squash onto a baking sheet and broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly, a few minutes.

Creamy one-pan chicken & broccoli pasta image

Who doesn't love a creamy chicken pasta? If you don't have broccoli, there are so many alternatives - green beans, halved brussels sprouts or leafy greens

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tbsp olive oil, for frying
200g cooked chicken, torn into pieces
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 chicken stock cube
160g dried short pasta
100g frozen peas
200g long-stem broccoli, cut into 3-4 pieces
150g crème fraîche
1 lemon, juiced
30g parmesan, grated, plus extra to serve
small bunch fresh mint, leaves picked

Steps:

  • Drizzle a little oil into a large, high-sided frying pan set over a medium heat. When the pan is hot, add the chicken and garlic, and fry for 5 mins, stirring often so it doesn't burn. Pour in 900ml boiling water, then add the stock cube and pasta along with some seasoning. Bring to the boil, then cover and simmer for 8 mins.
  • Stir in the peas and broccoli for the last 4 mins of cooking time, and replace the lid. You might need to increase the heat slightly to get the temperature back up to a simmer. Add a splash more water if the pasta is looking dry. After 4 mins, remove the lid and reduce the heat to low, then stir in the crème fraîche. Taste for seasoning. Remove the pan from the heat and stir through the lemon juice, parmesan and mint leaves. Finish with some extra parmesan, if you like.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, tender chicken, and flavorful pasta will make all the difference in the final dish.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente pasta is slightly firm to the bite and will hold its shape better in the sauce.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken and vegetables, be sure to use a large enough pan so that the ingredients are not crowded. This will allow them to cook evenly and prevent steaming.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what brings all the flavors together in this dish, so be sure to use a sauce that you love. A simple Alfredo sauce or a creamy pesto sauce are both great options.
  • Add some Parmesan cheese: Parmesan cheese adds a salty, nutty flavor to the dish and helps to thicken the sauce.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley, add a pop of color and flavor to the finished dish.
