Steps:
- COOK THE SQUASH Preheat oven to 350°F. Cut the squash in half, lengthwise. Use a spoon to scrape the pulp out and remove the seeds. Place the squash on a baking sheet with the cut side down. Line the baking sheet with foil for easy clean-up. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until a fork easily punctured the skin and the squash seems soft. Scrape the cooked squash with a fork, to create the stringy, spaghetti squash. PREPARE THE CHICKEN: Heat the coconut oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for about 5 minutes or until soft. Stir in the mushrooms and cook for about 5 more minutes. Add the chicken, chicken broth, lemon juice, tomatoes and spinach to the pan. Stir about 5 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the chicken cooked through. Stir in the parmesan cheese To serve, place about 1/4 of the spaghetti squash on a plate and top with about 1 cup of the chicken veggie mixture.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh lemon juice and zest, as well as freshly chopped parsley, will give your dish the best flavor.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts can easily become dry and tough if overcooked. Cook them until they are just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
- Use a good quality pasta: A good quality pasta will hold its shape and not become mushy when cooked.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
- Season to taste: Always taste your dish before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed.
