figs

walnuts (roasted)

plain Greek yogurt*

Honey maple syrup

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Chop the figs into quarters or sixths and place them on a baking sheet cut-side up.

Also place the walnuts on the baking sheet

Roast the walnuts for 5 to 8 minutes (until they're toasted and have some color), and the figs for 15 to 20 minutes, or until juices are running out and they are soft when poked. Remove figs from the oven and allow them to cool (to speed up this process, stick them in a bowl and put them in the freezer or refrigerator).

Add a layer of yogurt to a glass, followed by a layer of roasted figs and walnuts plus a drizzle of honey, followed by more yogurt and figs and walnuts and more honey.

A flavorful balanced meal that is packed with protein, low-carb, whole30 compliant, and so delicious! Loaded with everything you need for a nutritious dinner.

Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Spaghetti Squash with Chicken

spaghetti squash (roasted)

red onion (or yellow onion, chopped)

chicken breast (chopped)

garlic (minced)

paprika

¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

(8-oz) jar sun-dried tomatoes, drained

baby spinach

salt

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut the tip and tail off of the spaghetti squash using a sharp knife, and slice it in half down the middle, hot dog style. Note: this will be a very challenging process if your knife is not sharp. Be cautious while cutting the squash.

Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and innards and discard.

Drizzle the flesh (cut side) with one to two tablespoons of olive oil or avocado oil per half. Use your fingers or a silicone brush to distribute the oil all over the flesh so that it is lightly coated. Sprinkle the flesh with sea salt.

Place spaghetti squash on a large baking sheet cut-side down. Roast on the center rack of the preheated oven for 40 to 55 minutes, or until the spaghetti squash has reached your desired level of doneness. For al dente noodles, cook for 35 to 40 minutes and for soft noodles, cook 45 to 55 minutes, depending on the size of the squash.

Remove the squash from the oven and set it aside to cool until it has chilled enough to handle.

While the squash is roasting in the oven, prepare the sun-dried tomato sauce.

Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet (I use a 12-inch nonstick skillet with a deep lip) over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the onion has softened, about 5 minutes. Add the chopped chicken and minced garlic cloves to the skillet and spread it out in an even layer. Allow the chicken to cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has a slight golden-brown color.

Add in the paprika, red pepper flakes, coconut milk, and drained sundried tomatoes. Give everything a big stir. Bring the sauce to a full boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened to the consistency of alfredo sauce, about 10 to 15 minutes. Note: If there is a lot of separation between the coconut flesh and the water in your can of coconut milk, no worries. Simply scoop everything out of the can using a spoon. The heat will melt the coconut cream and water together.

Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cover with a lid. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes or until the spinach has wilted. Stir it into the sun-dried tomato mixture.

Use a fork to release the spaghetti squash strands from the spaghetti squash halves and transfer the strands of spaghetti squash to the skillet with the sauce. Stir well until everything is combined. Taste the dish for flavor and add more sea salt and a drizzle of lemon juice, to your personal taste.

Serve in bowls, and enjoy! I like sprinkling some chopped pistachios on top for a little crunchy texture.

YUM!! Felt like I went to a fancy restaurant. We added the artichoke hearts and capers and topped with Parmesan cheese. Absolutely Amazing!!

THIS DISH IS AMAZING!!! The sauce is super creamy and it comes together really quick! I used zucchini and yellow squash for the noodles and it worked out perfectly. I also added artichoke hearts and capers. Such a great recipe!!

Made this recipe exactly as shown and it was delicious! My husband and I could not stop eating it. 
Thank you for sharing.

I just made this, and YUM! I only needed half of the recipe and I still have some leftovers for another meal. Trying to use what I had without buying more groceries, I used some Trader Joe's sweet Italian chicken sausage, mushrooms, and skipped the spinach. And I used heavy cream instead of half a can of coconut milk. I'll definitely be making this again.
