Broccoli & Chicken Alfredo Spaghetti Squash:

Ingredients

  • 1 2 1/2- to 3-pound spaghetti squash, halved lengthwise and seeded

  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil or extra-virgin olive oil

  • 12 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces

  • 3 cups small broccoli florets

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 2 large cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 cup reduced-fat milk

  • ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper

  • 4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, patted dry and shredded (3/4 cup)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

  2. Place squash halves, cut-side down, in a microwave-safe dish. Add 2 tablespoons water. Microwave on High until the squash is tender, about 10 minutes. (Alternatively, place squash halves, cut-side down, on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake in a 400 degrees F oven until the squash is tender, 40 to 50 minutes.) When cool enough to handle, use a fork to scrape the squash flesh from the shells into a medium bowl. Place the squash shells, cut-side up, on a rimmed baking sheet.

  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, broccoli and salt; cook, stirring, until the chicken is cooked through and the broccoli is tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.

  4. Whisk milk, Parmesan, cornstarch and pepper together in a measuring cup. Add to the pan and cook, stirring, until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes more. Stir in the squash flesh. Fill the squash shells with the chicken mixture. Top with mozzarella. Bake until heated through and cheese has melted, 12 to 15 minutes.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
