Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Buffalo Chicken Spaghetti Squash Bake.
Step 1
Begin by placing the halved spaghetti squash, cut-side down, on a microwave-safe plate.
Step 2
Use a fork to poke a few small holes in the squash to allow steam to escape.
Step 3
Microwave on high for approximately 10 minutes, or until the squash is tender and easily pierced.
Step 4
While the squash is cooking, heat a small pot over medium-low heat and add the softened cream cheese.
Step 5
Stir continuously for about 4 minutes until it melts into a creamy consistency.
Step 6
Next, blend in the Buffalo wing sauce until fully incorporated.
Step 7
Add the shredded chicken and ranch dressing, stirring until everything is well mixed.
Step 8
Once combined, remove the pot from the heat.
Step 9
After the squash is cooked, use a fork to scrape the flesh into spaghetti-like strands, creating a cozy nest in each half.
Step 10
Generously spoon the flavorful Buffalo chicken mixture over the squash, then top with a sprinkle of shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese and blue cheese, if desired.
Step 11
Preheat your oven's broiler, positioning the rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Step 12
Broil the stuffed squash halves for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden, creating a deliciously crispy topping.
Step 13
Enjoy this hearty dish that combines the comfort of spaghetti squash with the bold flavors of Buffalo chicken!.
