Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place spaghetti squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast for 40-50 minutes, or until tender.
While the squash is roasting, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
Add onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
Add red bell pepper and cook for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp.
Stir in cherry tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until tomatoes soften slightly.
Return chicken to the skillet. Add chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Once the spaghetti squash is cool enough to handle, use a fork to scrape out the strands.
Add the spaghetti squash strands to the skillet with the chicken mixture. Toss to combine.
Serve immediately, topped with Parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

For a creamier sauce, you can add a splash of heavy cream or coconut milk.
Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach, zucchini, or mushrooms.
Ensure the chicken is cooked through to a safe internal temperature.
