![]() I just LOVE using squash as a vehicle for cooking. I’ve posted about squash in the past and will continue to as it’s just so tasty and versatile J If you’re looking for a new easy way to use spaghetti squash, I’ve got a recipe for you! I adapted this recipe to make it more low FODMAP friendly from www.eatingwell.com. Chicken Enchilada-Stuffed Spaghetti Squash (4 servings) 2 8-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts 1 2 ½ - 3 ½ pound spaghetti squash, halved lengthwise and seeded 1 ½ cups red enchilada sauce, divided (you can you a jarred product or make your own) 1 medium zucchini, diced 1 cup shredded pepper jack or mozzarella cheese 1 – Preheat oven to 450°F 2 – Place chicken in a medium saucepan, add water to cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer until meat thermometer reads 165°F when inserted. About 10-15 minutes. 3 – Transfer chicken to a cutting board and shred with 2 forks. Place in a large bowl. 4 – Meanwhile, place squash cut side down in a microwave –safe dish and 2 tablespoons water. Microwave, uncovered, on High until flesh is tender, about 10 minute. (You could also bake in the oven at 400°F until squash is tender, 40 to 50 minutes). 5 – Use fork to scrape the squash from shells into a large bowl and place shells on a baking sheet. Stir in about 1 cup of the enchilada sauce, zucchini, ½ teaspoon pepper ad ¼ teaspoon of salt into the squash and chicken. Divide the mixture between the shells; top with the remaining ¼ cup enchilada sauce and cheese. 6 – Bake on the lower rack for 10 minutes. Move to upper rack, turn the broiler to high and broil, watching carefully, until the cheese starts to brown, about 2 minutes. To serve, cut each shell in half or eat out of the bowl! * If making the enchilada sauce: 1 tsp garlic infused olive oil 1 24-ounce can pureed tomatoes 1 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp chili powder 1 tsp paprika Salt and pepper to taste 1 – Pour olive oil in saucepan, heat on medium. Add tomatoes and spices, stir to combine. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer for 12-15 minutes. Once heated through, remove from heat.
