Ingredients

  • 1 Spaghetti Squash approximately 2 pounds
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 5 slices Bacon
  • 3 cups Boneless Chicken diced in cubes
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 1 Tablespoon Ranch Seasoning
  • 1-2 cups Chicken Broth as needed
  • 6 ounces Cream Cheese softened
  • 1 cup Sour Cream
  • 1/2 cup Milk as desired (optional)
  • Shredded Cheddar Cheese optional garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Then slice spaghetti squash lengthwise down the middle.
  • Scoop out the seeds of the squash and discard the seeds. Then grab a rimmed pan and place the squash cut side down. Pour in 1/3 cup of water.
  • Bake the squash for 30-40 minutes until the water is absorbed and the squash turns golden orange.
  • While the squash is cooking you will grab a skillet and pan cook your bacon until it is done. Remove and place on a paper towel lined plate. Then chop into bite size pieces.
  • In the same skillet, you will dice up chicken and then season with salt, pepper and around 1/2 teaspoon of the ranch mix. Then pan sear the chicken in the bacon grease until golden brown and fully cooked. Then remove chicken from the pan.
  • Clean the skillet out and then add in the broth and bring to a simmer. Once it is simmering add in the sour cream and cream cheese.
  • Mix until it is fully melted. You can add milk to help thin out the sauce and stretch the sauce even more to make more sauce if you want.
  • Add in the ranch seasoning, and stir well.
  • Once the squash is done, remove and use a fork to scrape out the flesh making it into noodles. Put noodles in the skillet and add in the bacon and chicken. Stir to coat all the ingredients.
  • Season to your liking, and to with cheese, parsley or even green onions.

Notes

How to Know Squash Is Done: Take your squash and flip one of the halves over. Take a fork or knife and run it down the flesh lengthwise and if the squash is soft and forms spaghetti-like noodles the squash is done.
