This Cheesy Buffalo Chicken Spaghetti Squash is loaded with flavor and a totally crave-worthy dinner option.

Ingredients

  • Extra grated cheese for topping

  • Ranch or blue cheese dressing for drizzling

  • Pepper

  • Salt

  • 1/4 cup Chopped green onion

  • 1 Jalapeno, diced

  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt

  • 2 tbsp. Melted butter

  • 1/3 cup Red hot sauce

  • 1 cup Freshly grated cheddar and/or mozzarella cheese

  • 2 cups Cooked shredded chicken

  • 2 Medium spaghetti squash

Method

  • 01
    Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • 02
    Slice your spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. For easy cutting, feel free to stick each squash in the microwave for 5 minutes to soften it up just a tad. The knife slides through way easier this way!
  • 03
    Next, grab a lipped baking sheet or a rimmed baking dish and line with foil. To prevent sticking, rub the cut side of the squash with a teeny bit of olive oil and place face down on your baking sheet.
  • 04
    Roast for 30-40 minutes, or until tender and easily pierced with a fork. Cooking time will vary a bit depending on the size of your squash, and the exterior of the squash will be visibly softened.
  • 05
    The squash can be roasted and stored in the fridge for a few days if you'd like to meal prep and plan ahead for a speedier dinner. You can also make the whole shebang one weekend and pop it in the fridge until about 30 minutes before dinnertime. Wind up with a little bit leftover? It reheats marvelously the following day! Now let's get back to the recipe!
  • 06
    While the squash roast, cook chicken via your favorite method or squirrel away leftovers from the previous night's dinner. Shred your chicken and combine in a medium bowl with your cheese (I used cheddar and mozzarella), hot sauce, melted butter, Greek yogurt, jalapeño, green onion, salt, and pepper.
  • 07
    Using a fork, scrape the spaghetti squash bowls to release the delicious strands of squash and mix with your cheesy buffalo chicken mixture. Top each squash with a little extra cheese and place face-up on your baking sheet. Cover the baking dish in foil, leaving a little room at the top (like a tent!) so the cheese doesn't stick.
  • 08
    Bake at 350 degrees F for around 20 minutes or until hot and bubbly. For golden bubbly cheese, remove the foil at the end, then change oven setting to broil on high and broil for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onion, a drizzle of your favorite dressing, and even extra hot sauce!
