Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Carefully slice the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and season the flesh with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.
Place the squash halves cut-side up on a baking sheet and roast for 35-40 minutes, or until the squash is tender and easily pulls into strands with a fork.
Marinate the chicken breast in barbecue sauce for 20 minutes.
Heat a pan over medium heat and cook the marinated chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Let the chicken rest, then slice it into strips.
Once the spaghetti squash is done, use a fork to shred it into strands. Top the shredded squash with the barbecue chicken, sliced red onion, and Colby Jack cheese.
Place under the broiler on high for 3-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Drizzle with additional barbecue sauce and sprinkle with extra red onion if desired. Enjoy!
