Ingredients

Freshly chopped parsley, for garnish
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 1/4 cups shredded mozzarella, divided
1/2 cup ranch dressing
1 tsp. oregano
1 1/2 pounds chicken breasts (about 3)
12 oz. bacon, cut into 1" pieces
Freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt
1 tbsp. ranch seasoning
3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium spaghetti squash, halved, seeds removed

Method

01

Preheat oven to 400°. Drizzle cut sides of spaghetti squash with oil and season with ranch seasoning, salt, and pepper. Place halves cut side down on a large baking sheet. Roast until tender, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool slightly, then use a fork to scrape squash strands into a large bowl.
02

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy, 8 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
03

Season chicken with oregano, salt, and pepper. Add to the skillet and cook until no longer pink, 8 minutes per side. Let rest on cutting board for 5 minutes, then cut into bite-size pieces.
04

To bowl with squash, add ranch dressing and 3/4 cup mozzarella and toss. Add bacon and chicken and toss again. Divide the mixture between the squash halves and place them on a large baking sheet. Top with remaining 3/4 cup mozzarella and Parmesan. Bake until warmed through and cheese is melty, 15 minutes.
05

Garnish with parsley to serve.
