Spaghetti Squash Chicken Bacon Ranch Bake
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 1 minute 15 seconds
Total Time 16 minutes 15 seconds

Ingredients

  • 1 medium size spaghetti squash, cooked (~600 g cooked squash)
  • 4 oz (⅓ less fat) Neufchâtel cheese (softened to room temp)
  • 4 tablespoons (20 g) Parmesan cheese (reserve 5 g for topping)
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 ½ tablespoons ranch seasoning powder
  • 50 g spinach, chopped fine
  • 12 oz cooked chicken (can you cook it from raw( 16 oz raw, will cook to ~12 oz, or used canned chicken breast)
  • 4 slices turkey bacon, cooked and diced (reserve 2 tbsp for topping)

Instructions

Cook spaghetti squash (oven directions, instant pot directions, microwave directions). You don’t want it over cooked - it’ll bake a little more in the oven once everything is combined. While that is cooking, cook chicken if you have it raw. Cook and dice turkey bacon.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 8x8 glass baking dish or other small baking dish.

In a medium size mixing bowl combine softened Neufchâtel cheese, parmesan, pepper, ranch seasoning and chopped spinach. Stir mixture until it’s well blended. Stir in chicken and turkey bacon until incorporated. Add spaghetti squash and stir to coat. Dump mixture into baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining turkey bacon and parmesan cheese. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until it’s hot!

Serve warm! Enjoy!
