Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup parsley
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tbsp flaxseed oil
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup asparagus
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup pieces or slices mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup chopped red pepper
  • 1 lb chicken breast
  • 3 1/2 lbs spaghetti squash

Directions

  • Slice spaghetti squash in half vertically and clean out seeds.
  • Place face down on a cookie sheet and bake at 375 °F (190 °C) for 30-40 minutes or until a fork sticks into it easily.
  • Meanwhile, sauté diced chicken breast and chopped asparagus (1" pieces) in unsalted broth over medium high heat until no pink is showing in chicken, about five minutes.
  • Add mushrooms, onion and red pepper and cider vinegar. Cover for three minutes over medium heat until soft. Stir in chopped, fresh parsley (or cilantro).
  • Take spaghetti squash out of oven and let sit five minutes. Scoop the insides out into a bowl and shred with fork. The noodles of squash are like rice noodles.
  • Drizzle with flaxseed oil, grate fresh nutmeg and sprinkle chopped garlic, tossing and incorporating with a fork.
  • Make a nest of spaghetti squash, and spoon chicken stir-fry over it or have them side by side to enjoy their separate flavors.
