Spaghetti_Squas_with_chicken_mushrooms_and-parmesan

*yields 2 large portions or 3 small portions (macros based on 2)

Ingredients
2 chicken breasts, chopped
3 1/2 cups cooked spaghetti squash
2 cups chopped mushrooms
1 tbsp fresh thyme
1/3 cup parmesan cheese grated
2 garlic cloves minced
1/4 cup fresh parsley finely chopped
Salt&pepper
Avocado oil (or other oil that you like to sauté with)
Olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400F degree. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, seed it, drizzle with 2 tbsp of olive oil and season with salt & pepper. Place cut side down on a parchment paper lined baking tray. Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour. Take out and let it cool down.
  2. In a large skillet, preheat 2 tbsp avocado oil over high heat and add the chicken tender pieces. Sear the chicken all over for about 2 minutes, then reduce the heat to medium/high and cover with lid. Cook for 4 minutes, stir, cover and cook for 3 more minutes. Transfer the chicken pieces on a plate and set aside.
  3. Use the same skillet, add one tbsp of avocado oil, add the garlic, thyme, and mushrooms and sauté for about 5-7 minutes over medium heat until mushrooms turn golden brown. Turn off the heat and set aside.
  4. Scrape the squash into strings with a fork and add them to the skillet. Add the grated parmesan cheese and warm up over low heat. Add the chicken, combine and sprinkle with a handful of fresh parsley. Serve.

      Hello Z, it is not the first time me and my partner were trying your recipes. First, when I told him I would make a recipe from you, he was like… rolling eyes 😀 Now, when I say I am going to do your dish, he is like “Great!”. And you proved again that your recipes are great, he ate it like nothing asking me, if there is more spaghetti 🙂 I have to say I made one exchange (instead squash I used semolina spaghetti), but we loved it. Tomorrow I am going to cook another great stuff from you.. Cauliflower with chicken and coconut sauce 🙂 Cant wait.
