Chicken Alfredo Spaghetti Squash

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°,. Drizzle cut sides of squash with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, season with salt and black pepper. Arrange halves cut side down on a large baking sheet. Roast squash until tender, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool slightly. Using a fork, scrape squash strands into a large bowl. Reserve boat halves. Keep oven on.
2. Season chicken all over with salt and black pepper. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 8 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes, then cut into bite-sized pieces.
3. In the same skillet over medium heat, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add onion and red pepper and cook until translucent, add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add milk and broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in cream, seasoning, spinach, Parmesan, and red pepper flakes, season with salt and black pepper. Return to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 10 minutes.
4. To bowl with spaghetti squash, add chicken and sauce and toss to combine. Divide chicken mixture between reserved squash halves. Top with mozzarella. Bake squash boats until warmed through and cheese is melty about 15 minutes. Arrange squash halves on a platter. Top with parsley.
