Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Chicken with Spaghetti Squash and Fire-Roasted Tomatoes.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Take your halved spaghetti squash and place it cut-side down in a nonstick baking pan.
Step 3
Let it bake in the warm oven for about 45 minutes, or until it yields easily to a fork's gentle poke.
Step 4
Once done, allow it to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring it to a cooling rack, making it easier to handle.
Step 5
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Step 6
Toss in the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes tender and fragrant, which should take around 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 7
Next, introduce the chicken pieces along with fire-roasted tomatoes (juice included), Italian seasoning, and a dash of paprika.
Step 8
Cook this delightful mixture until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink, roughly 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 9
Once cooked, remove from heat and carefully spoon out any excess liquid.
Step 10
Now, take a fork and scrape the spaghetti squash flesh into luscious strands, adding them to the skillet.
Step 11
Gently fold in the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
Step 12
Serve this hearty blend in a pasta bowl, finishing it off with a sprinkle of shredded Parmesan cheese and a dash of dried oregano for that perfect touch.
Step 13
Enjoy your deliciously unique spaghetti squash dish!.
