Recipe Card
For the Mashed Spaghetti Squash
ingredients
- 1 spaghetti squash, cut in half
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
For the Chicken
ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
For the Green Beans
ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375โ and line a pan with parchment paper. Place the spaghetti squash halves onto the pan, upside down, and place in the oven. Roast for 40-60 minutes or until fork tender. Scoop the cooked spaghetti squash into a blender or food processor. Add parmesan, butter and cracked black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Step 2
Meanwhile, season the chicken on each side with salt and pepper and drizzle chicken with maple syrup. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken into the hot pan and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until completely cooked through.
Step 3
To prepare the green beans, begin with toasting the almonds in a hot pan on the stove over medium heat. Mix and toast for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Meanwhile, blanch and shock your trimmed green beans, then add then to the same pan as the almonds and sautรฉ for about 2 minutes, or until warm.
Step 4
Serve yourself chicken, mashed spaghetti squash, and green beans!
