Greek Chicken Spaghetti Squash Skillet Recipe

This is not the first time I’ve made a spaghetti squash skillet recipe, and it definitely won’t be the last! I first fell in love with spaghetti squash when I tried this recipe, and tried turning it into a vegetarian skillet meal about a year ago.

If you’re following a low carb diet, you’ve likely discovered that spaghetti squash is a fantastic substitute for pasta. But low carb or not, this versatile squash can be mixed with almost any type of protein, as well as a variety of vegetables and sauces.

When I first starting preparing spaghetti squash, particularly stuffed spaghetti squash recipes like this enchilada version or this pesto chicken one, I was shocked at how quickly it filled me up. I could barely finish a stuffed spaghetti squash half on my own. Tons of fiber will do that to you! This Greek Chicken Spaghetti Squash Skillet recipe is no different.

How to make spaghetti squash skillet recipes:

• Cook the spaghetti squash, either in the microwave or by roasting in the oven. Let the squash rest until cool enough to handle, then cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out and discard the seeds. Using a fork, scrape out the spaghetti squash strands.
• In a large skillet (this is my all-time favorite nonstick skillet – affiliate), cook any vegetables, protein, herbs, spices and sauce that you’re using. In the case of this recipe, I first cooked the chicken, then made a simple marinara sauce.
• Stir the spaghetti squash into the sauce and toss to combine.
• If using cheese, sprinkle it over the spaghetti squash, then pop the whole skillet under the broiler just until the cheese melts, 1 to 2 minutes.

Nutritional benefits of spaghetti squash:

• It's a powerhouse of vitamins: A, B6, C, folate and K, to name a few.
• Low in calories and carbs, with a good amount of fiber. In 1 cup, there are about 40 calories, 8 grams of carbs and 2 grams of fiber.
• It's a fantastic substitute for pasta if you're watching your carbs or just trying to work more vegetables into your diet.
