✨ 1 ¼ lbs chicken breast, cooked and shredded

1 medium spaghetti squash, halved (about 2– 2 ½ lbs.)

2 ribs celery, thinly sliced

2 green onions, white and green parts thinly sliced

½ cup diced red bell pepper

½ cup purchased buffalo sauce or use our Homemade Buffalo Sauce

¼ cup creamy ranch dressing or use our Homemade Paleo Ranch Dressing (optional)

¼ cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)

✨INSTRUCTIONS:

To Roast The Squash:

1️⃣Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

2️⃣Slice both ends from squash and discard. Stand squash up on one of its cut ends and use a large knife to cut the squash in half lengthwise. Scoop seeds and stringy insides out using a large spoon.

3️⃣Place squash cut-side down on the baking sheet.

Bake for 30-40 minutes or until squash is tender. Baking time will depend on the size of your squash (larger squash requiring a longer cook time). When squash is tender, allow to it cool slightly before using a fork to gently scrape the squash flesh into a large bowl. Reserve the squash shells.

4️⃣While squash is roasting, cook the chicken.

✨To Assemble The Stuffed Squash:

1️⃣In a large bowl, place squash shreds, shredded chicken, celery, green onions, bell pepper, and buffalo sauce. Toss until well mixed and coated.

2️⃣Spoon the squash-chicken mixture into the reserved squash shells. Place the stuffed shells on the baking sheet and bake in 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes or until heated through.

3️⃣Serve drizzled with ranch dressing and top with crumbled blue cheese, if desired.
