Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Put 1 tbsp of olive oil in the bottom of a casserole dish. Butterfly the chicken breasts (cut in half length-wise) and place them flat in the dish.
- Next, surround the chicken with cherry tomatoes, onions and garlic.
- Spoon out the cream cheese around the dish so you have about 1 inch around dollups of cream cheese evenly spaces. I like to put it mostly on the chicken so I know it won't burn to the bottom.
- Season everything in the casserole dish with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Place the casserole dish in the oven for 20 minutes or until the chicken reaches a temperature of 165 degrees.
- While the chicken is cooking, cook the spaghetti squash. My favorite way to do this is cut it in half on the equator, scoop the seeds out, and microwave it for 5 minute increments until it is finish. Typically takes about, 15 minutes. You can also cut it the same way, remove the seeds, and cook it in your Instant Pot for 13 minutes.
- When the spaghetti squash is cooked use a fork to scrape out all the "meat" of the squash.
- When the chicken is done, shred the chicken and mix the cream cheese (should be soft), tomatoes, and chicken together. Add in the squash and combine until it is coated in the sauce.
- Add extra basil on top and enjoy!
Notes
Serve this over any pasta that you prefer. I love spaghetti squash to keep this light, but you can add any cooked pasta to the mixture. // Cook the spaghetti squash how you like best. I find the fastest way is in the microwave or the instant pot, so that is how I like to do it. // Add as much fresh basil as you like! I always think the more the merrier. // If you don’t want to use Kite Hill cream cheese, goat cheese is another great option. It will not be Whole30 compatible, but works great!
