Step 1

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F.

Step 2

Slice your spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. For easy cutting, feel free to stick each squash in the microwave for 5 minutes to soften it up just a tad. The knife slides through way easier this way!

Step 3

Next grab a lipped baking sheet or a rimmed baking dish and line with foil.

Step 4

To prevent sticking, rub the cut side of the squash with a teeny bit of olive oil and place face down on your baking sheet.

Step 5

Roast for 30-40 minutes, or until tender and easily pierced with a fork. Cooking time will vary a bit depending on the size of your squash, and the exterior of the squash will be visibly softened.

Step 6

The squash can be roasted and stored in the fridge for a few days if you'd like to meal prep and plan ahead for a speedier dinner. You can also make the whole shebang one weekend and pop it in the fridge until about 30 minutes before dinnertime. Wind up with a little bit leftover? It reheats marvelously the following day! Now let's get back to the recipe!

Step 7

While the squash roast, cook chicken via your favorite method or squirrel away leftovers from the previous night's dinner.

Step 8

Shred your chicken and combine in a medium bowl with your cheese (I used cheddar and mozzarella), hot sauce, melted butter, Greek yogurt, jalapeño, green onion, salt, and pepper.

Step 9

Using a fork, scrape the spaghetti squash bowls to release the delicious strands of squash and mix with your cheesy buffalo chicken mixture.

Step 10

Top each squash with a little extra cheese and place face-up on your baking sheet. Cover the baking dish in foil, leaving a little room at the top (like a tent!) so the cheese doesn't stick.

Step 11

Bake at 350 degrees F for around 20 minutes or until hot and bubbly. For golden bubbly cheese, remove the foil at the end, then change oven setting to broil on high and broil for 2-3 minutes.

Step 12

Garnish with chopped green onion, a drizzle of your favorite dressing, and even extra hot sauce!
