Ingredients
Scale
2 medium spaghetti squash
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
Fresh parsley or basil, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Halve spaghetti squashes, scoop seeds, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Place cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for 30-40 minutes until tender.
Season chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown. Let rest before slicing.
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Stir in softened cream cheese until melted; whisk in almond milk gradually. Add grated Parmesan and optional nutmeg until creamy.
Use a fork to scrape strands of roasted spaghetti squash into serving bowls. Top with sliced chicken and pour over Alfredo sauce.
