Equipment

  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 pan to cook chicken (optional)
  • 1 sharp knife
  • 1 fork for fluffing

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large spaghetti squash
  • 4 tsp olive oil 2 for the squash and 2 for the chicken
  • 1 fresh chicken breast
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese
  • 2 tsp pimento (jarred) or optional pepper
  • 1 tsp red pepper

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees.
    With a sharp (chef's)knife, split the squash into 2 down the center. Spoon out the seeds and webs.
  • Rub oil on the inside of the squash, and salt (pepper if desired). Bake for about 20-25 minutes until the inside is soft.
  • Meanwhile, while the squash is baking, prepare the Fixins. In a skillet, grill the chicken in 2 tsp of oil, salt, and pepper. Put to the side and chop into bite sizes.
    Coarsely chop the spinach, and grate the mozzarella, and parmesan.
  • When the squash is done, let rest for 5 minutes. Then add spinach, and let it wilt. Add cheeses, pimentos, and chopped chicken. Fluff with a fork to combine. Voila!
