Instructions
- Set oven to 400F.
- Chop squash into rings, then cut out the inside of each ring.
- Place the rings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spray the rings with olive oil, then sprinkle with sea salt & pepper. Bake for 45 minutes, or until soft. Allow them to cool before handling.
- Gently push the inside of the rings to remove the spaghetti from the rind. Then carefully pull apart the spaghetti. Place the spaghetti in a large bowl and set aside.
- While spaghetti squash is baking also bake 20 oz of boneless skinless chicken lightly salt and pepper. Once cooked to temp shred and/or chop chicken up finely.
- Set a nonstick skillet on medium heat, add olive oil, onion and garlic. Sauté for 3 minutes or until the onionss are soft and caramelized.
- Add rosemary and thyme and cook for 1 minute, then squeeze in fresh lemon.
- Add chicken broth and bring to a light simmer for 1 minute.
- Pour in coconut cream and reduce the heat. Season to taste with sea salt & pepper.
- Remove the skillet from the heat, then fold in the chicken, and then the spaghetti. Add parsley and mix together.
- Evenly divide the filling among hermetic jars – at least 17.5oz in size (or the size that corresponds with your portion size). Alternatively, just add the filling to a 6×6 baking dish.
- Top each jar with a tablespoon of parmesan, then panko. Lightly spray each top with olive oil to help get that golden brown topping.
- Bake for 25 minutes.
- Garnish and enjoy!
