What is savory, creamy, and has your name all over it? If your answer had anything to do with my buffalo chicken spaghetti squash skillet then you, my friend, are correct! I am a big fan of taking classic recipes and altering them to better align with my modern goals. Extra bonus points when they are boyfriend approved!
I originally posted this recipe back in 2018 and it has been my most made recipe to date! I am happy to say that it is back on the blog and here to stay. I hope that you all still enjoy it just as much as I do.
Ingredients
- 1 large spaghetti squash
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 6 tbsp plain greek yogurt
- 3 tbsp cottage cheese
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce – I like The New Primal brand
- 1/4 cup egg white
- 1/2 cup chopped green onion
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F
- Cut the spaghetti squash horizontally and scoop out the seeds
- If cooking the spaghetti squash in an Instant Pot, place the trivet the Instant Pot and add a cup of water. Place the halves of the spaghetti squash on top of the trivet and secure the lid. Turn the valve on the back side of the lid to the sealing position. Set the Instant Pot to high pressure for 7 minutes. Note that it will take 10 minutes to come to pressure.
- If cooking in the oven, place the 2 halves of the spaghetti squash face down on a baking sheet. Cook in the oven for 35-40 minutes.
- While the spaghetti squash cooks place your chicken breasts on a greased baking sheet. Cook in the oven for 30 minutes.
-
When the Instant pot timer goes off after 7 minutes turn the valve to venting. Be careful not to let the steam burn you. Skip this step if following the instructions for the oven.
-
Once the spaghetti squash is done cooking, remove it and let it cool. Use a fork to pull it apart. Remove as much liquid as you can from the squash using a cheese cloth or a paper towel.
- Once the chicken is done cooking place it in the food processor and pulse on high until shredded.
- Add all of the ingredients to a large bowl and stir well. Once the ingredients are well combined add the mixture to a cast iron skillet.
- Bake at 400F for 30 min. Garnish with green onion.
- Top with buffalo sauce and seasoning to taste.
