TOMATO SPINACH CHICKEN SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes and 2 tablespoons of olive oil, drained from sun-dried tomatoes, to a large skillet, on medium-low heat.

• Add red pepper flakes, and salt over all of the ingredients in the skillet.
• Cook on medium heat until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink, about 5 minutes.

CHICKEN & TOMATO-STUFFED SPAGHETTI SQUASH RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
• With a sharp knife, slice the squash in half. (If the squash is too tough - puncture in several places forming a dotted line around the squash. Microwave 3-5 minutes to soften. Allow to cool before cutting in half - following the dotted line).
• Scoop out the seeds, brush with oil, salt, and pepper, and place face down on a baking tray. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a fork can easily pierce the skin.
• Heat olive oil in a large pan. Add chicken breasts (seasoned with salt and pepper) and garlic, and fully cook.
• Add tomatoes and spinach. Cook until spinach has wilted. Add marinara sauce.
• Stack the basil leaves and roll them up. Cut into slices and add to pan.
• Add crushed red pepper, and stir until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
• Once the squash has finished roasting, remove from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before turning over and pulling at it with a fork. (Careful, there will be some steam!)
• Shred the inside of each squash, being careful not to poke through the skin. Pour the sauce over the shredded squash, top with fresh basil, and serve.
• Enjoy!
