Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces chicken breasts
  • 1 piece spaghetti squash
  • 1 cup heavy cream Can be substituted with a mixture of milk and cream cheese.
  • 1 cup spinach Adjust to taste.
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes Adjust to taste.
  • 2 cloves garlic Minced.
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil For cooking.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and place cut-side down on a baking sheet.
  2. Bake the spaghetti squash for 30-40 minutes until tender.
Cooking Chicken
  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the chicken. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes on each side.
  3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Making the Sauce
  1. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Add the spinach and sun-dried tomatoes, cooking until wilted.
  3. Pour in the heavy cream and stir, allowing to simmer for a few minutes.
  4. Return the chicken to the skillet and coat it with the sauce.
Serving
  1. Once the spaghetti squash is cooked, use a fork to shred it into strands.
  2. Serve the Tuscan chicken over the spaghetti squash.

Notes

Serve warm, optionally topped with parmesan cheese. Great with a side salad or garlic bread.
