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!
