Ingredients

  • 2 Spaghetti Squash
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 cups Rotisserie Chicken
  • 1 cup Barbecue Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Bell Pepper diced
  • 1/4 cup Red Onion diced
  • 1/2 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Instructions

  • Set the oven to broil.
  • Using a small knife carefully poke holes in the spaghetti squash all the way around. Place several paper towels in the microwave and lay the squash on top and heat for 10 minutes. Using an oven mitt rotate each squash to the other side and then cook again for an additional 8 minutes.
  • Slice the spaghetti squash in half and remove the center seeds with a fork. Drizzle with olive oil and place on a rimmed baking sheet to cook for about 5 minutes or until the edges begin to brown.
  • Using a fork strip the rotisserie chicken from the bone and place it into a medium-sized bowl. Toss the pulled chicken with the barbecue sauce.
  • Layer the barbecue chicken on top of the spaghetti squash and top with the chopped bell pepper, red onion, and mozzarella cheese.
  • Place the stuffed spaghetti squash back into the oven for another 3 to 4 minutes to melt all that cheese and toast the veggies on top (make sure to watch it so it doesn't burn).

Notes

Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken: Place all BBQ Chicken ingredients (Chicken Breast, Olive Oil, BBQ Sauce) listed above in a slow cooker and cook on high for 3 to 4 hours. Shred chicken using 2 forks.
Stove Top BBQ Chicken: Heat medium skillet over medium-high heat and coat with Olive Oil. Place chicken breasts in skillet, cover, and cook 5 minutes. Turn chicken, replace the cover, and cook an additional 5 minutes. Once the chicken has reached an internal temp of 160 pour in the BBQ Sauce and cook an additional 2 minutes. Shred chicken using two forks.
