Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti Squash Casserole 🧀🍗
Ingredients:
For Chicken:
6 to 7 oz raw chicken breasts - should yield 4.5 oz grilled (3/4 Lean)
1/4 tsp Mrs Dash Southwest Chipotle Seasoning or seasoning of your choice (1 Condiment)
For Squash:
3 cups spaghetti squash, cooked (6 Greens)
1 tablespoon light butter, melted (1 Healthy Fat)
1/2 tsp garlic powder (1 Condiment)
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste (2 Condiments)
1/8 tsp black pepper, to taste (1/4 Condiment)
1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (1 Condiment)
3/4 cup 2% Fage Total Greek yogurt (1/2 Lean)
3 oz. cheddar, shredded and divided (3/4 Lean)
1/4 tsp dried basil (1/2 Condiment) or green onion as garnish
Directions:
Poke holes on all sides of the spaghetti squash with a metal skewer or a fork. Microwave 7-10 min, depending on size. Cut squash in half, lengthwise. Scoop the seeds and the middle strands out with a spoon and discard. Next, scrape the inside of the squash with a fork all the way to the skin. You should get strands that resemble spaghetti. Set aside.
Season chicken with your favorite seasonings. Grill until done. Weigh out 4.5 oz of cooked chicken and then chop into pieces. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine melted butter, salt, pepper, Parmesan cheese with the yogurt and 2 oz. of shredded cheddar cheese. Stir in spaghetti squash until combined. Pour spaghetti squash mixture into an 8 inch casserole dish. Top with cooked chicken. Sprinkle the remaining ounce of cheese and dried basil over the top. Put in oven and bake for 30 minutes. The casserole is ready when the top is a light golden brown, which makes for a crunchy crust! Serve immediately.
