Spaghetti Squash with Chicken, Sundried Tomatoes and Artichokes

What I love about spaghetti squash is that it’s so flavorful and filling for very few calories or carbs and it works as a great base for sauces. This chicken topping has a wonderful balance of sweet tomatoes and salty olives and feta. Pair this with a glass of sparkling white wine and you’re set. This will quickly become one of your favorite go-to meals!

1. Preheat oven to 425. Line a large baking sheet with foil and coat with cooking spray. Halve the spaghetti squash and scoop out any seeds; drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and lay cut side down on the baking sheet. Roast for 35 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add onion and garlic and cook for 3 minutes, stirring often.

3. Add chicken and cook until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients (except feta) and cook for 5 minutes longer, or until the chicken is completely cooked through.

4. Shred the roasted spaghetti squash flesh with a fork and scoop into 4 serving bowls. Top with the chicken mixture and sprinkle with feta.
