Tender spaghetti squash strands combined with spicy buffalo chicken, topped with ranch or blue cheese dressing for a comforting and flavorful low-carb meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium spaghetti squash (23 pounds), halved and seeds removed
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 1/3 cup buffalo sauce
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
  • Ranch or blue cheese dressing, for drizzling
  • Green onions, thinly sliced for garnish
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Carefully cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon.
  3. Place the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 40-45 minutes or until the strands easily pull away with a fork.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, softened cream cheese, and half the shredded cheese. Stir until well combined.
  5. Once the squash is cool enough to handle, use a fork to scrape the flesh into spaghetti-like strands, leaving a small border around the edges to keep the shell intact.
  6. Mix the squash strands with the buffalo chicken mixture until evenly combined. Spoon the mixture back into the squash shells.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top of each stuffed squash half.
  8. Return the filled squash halves to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Remove from the oven, drizzle with ranch or blue cheese dressing, garnish with green onions, and serve warm.

Notes

Microwave the squash for 2-3 minutes to soften the skin before cutting. Pat the squash dry if it’s too watery after roasting. Adjust spice levels by reducing buffalo sauce or adding extra cream cheese.
