  • Meanwhile, add 1 tbsp olive oil to a large skillet. Add chicken and saute until lightly browned, about 5-6 min. Season with salt and pepper, onion powder and chili flakes. Add artichokes, spinach and goat cheese, stirring for about 1 minute or until spinach softens.

Notes

You can easily make these spaghetti squash boats vegetarian by leaving out the chicken.
Microwave the squash for 2-3 minutes so it’s easier to cut into the skin.
Store the leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in the oven at 350 F for 10 minutes or in the microwave for 10 minutes.
Freeze the spaghetti squash on its own for up to 6 months. Defrost in the fridge overnight then reheat as normal.
