Garlic & herb spaghetti squash & chicken with broccoli
Food Prep Sunday! I feel accomplished with just knowing I checked this off my list. It sets the tone to start the week on a positive note. Garlic & herb spaghetti squash & chicken with broccoli. Also sautéed extra chicken to throw in salads. Easy meal prep idea for lunch or dinner. Enjoy this beautiful day! ☀️😘
Ingredients:
*1 medium size spaghetti squash
*avocado oil (about 1 Tbsp.)
*2 cloves of fresh garlic, pressed for the chicken
*1 clove of fresh garlic, sliced for the spaghetti squash
*Wow-a-chihuahua seasoning (1 Tbsp.)
*Bragg's 24 Herbs & Spices seasoning (1 Tbsp.)
*Himalayan pink salt to taste
*BelGioioso Romano cheese (about 1 1/2 Tbsp.)
*1 package of Earthbound Farm frozen broccoli
*1 package of chicken (I used stir fry chicken that's already sliced lengthwise.)
Baked Spaghetti Squash 👌🏼😋
1) Preheat oven to 35o.
2) Cover a baking sheet with foil, drizzle a little avocado oil, and rub it on the covered baking sheet.
3) Cut the spaghetti squash down the center & remove the seeds.
4) Rub avocado oil on it or use organic, unrefined coconut oil. (I used avocado oil.)
5) Thin sliced fresh garlic, Bragg's 24 Herbs & Spices Seasoning & grind on some Himalayan pink salt.
6) Throw it in the oven for 45-60 min at 350F depending on how large the squash is.
7) After baking, use a large metal servicing spoon to turn the spaghetti squash to pull it away from the outer shelling.
8) Top with Romano cheese.
9) Let it cool for about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to burn your mouth.
10) Serve & Enjoy!!!
Directions for pan seared chicken strips:
1) In the same medium skillet on medium heat, add about a tablespoon of avocado oil.
2) Add the chicken and season with a few turns of Himalayan pink salt, a few dashes of Wow-a-chihuahua seasoning, 2 cloves of fresh garlic, pressed, Bragg's 24 Herbs & Spices seasoning.
3) Pan sear for about 5-6 minutes on each side. (The outside should be evenly brown and inside fully cooked.)
4) Then add the coconut aminos.
5) Toss and simmer for a few minutes.
6) Remove from heat and set aside.
*The veggies can either be steamed or microwaved.
Toss all together and top with Romano cheese.*
Portion serving: 3-4 oz. of sautéed chicken, 1 cup of spaghetti squash, & 1 cup of broccoli.
Other ideas:
I like to add a little avocado oil or EVOO with fresh Romano & chopped tomatoes & fresh basil/spinach or sometimes I use sauce or add some sautéed veggies. Endless options to create a healthy meal & even add a protein for a balanced meal.😉
