Ingredients
- 1 spaghetti squash large
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 2 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 3 cups chicken breast cooked, shredded
- 4 oz diced green chilies canned
- ¼ cup lime juice
- ¼ cup cilantro fresh
- 2 cups pepper jack cheese shredded
- 1 avocado diced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400° F.
- Slice the spaghetti squash in half, remove the seeds and brush the inside with olive oil.
- In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle 1 tsp of this mixture on each half of spaghetti squash, reserve the rest for later.
- Turn the spaghetti squash over, cut side down on a baking sheet and place in the oven for 45 minutes.
- While the squash is roasting, combine the shredded chicken with the remaining seasoning mix, diced green chilies, lime juice and cilantro.
- Once the squash is roasted, remove from the oven and use a fork to pull the spaghetti squash “noodles” apart in the squash.
- Fill each half of squash with the green chili chicken, then top with the pepper jack cheese.
- Place back in the oven for 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and top with avocado and more fresh cilantro, if you’d like.
