Ingredients

1 spaghetti squash
1 tbsp olive oil
salt and black pepper to taste (optional)
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup red onions
2 cloves garlic
3 cups cooked shredded chicken breast— skinless
1 cup store-bought spaghetti sauce

Steps

Heat the oven to 400 F, halve the squash, remove the seeds, and brush the cut sides with 1 tablespoon oil.
Place the squash cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for 40 minutes, until tender.
Scrape the squash into strands and reduce the oven temperature to 375 F.
Heat the remaining oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook red onion and garlic for 5 minutes.
Stir in chicken, spaghetti sauce, squash strands, salt, and pepper, then transfer the mixture to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
Check that the thickest part of the poultry reaches 165 F before serving.
Top with mozzarella and bake for 20 minutes, until hot and bubbling.
