Spaghetti Squash Pad Thai

So I mentioned this yummy Spaghetti Squash Pad Thai in my previous post so I had to make it the other night and I must say it was sooo yummy.

What was in it ?

1 large spaghetti squash

1 cup bok choy (diced)

1 cup carrots (thinly sliced)

1 large bell pepper (thinly sliced)

 2 cooked chicken breast, shredded (the original recipe was chunks but I decided to shred it)

 1 clove garlic, minced

 1/4 cup chicken broth

 2 tbsp peanut butter

 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar

 1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce

1 tsp red chili sauce

Garnishes

 2 tbsp dry roasted peanuts, chopped

green onions (chopped)

 cilantro

 lime wedges

I was making a bigger serving so I tripled the recipe for the whole family

Here is how I made it

Preheat oven to 350

Line cookie sheet with aluminum foil

Cut Spaghetti squash in half lenghwise scoop out seeds and season with salt and pepper on lined cookie sheet

Bake spaghetti squash in preheated over for 40-60 minutes or until tender (you should be able to flake it with your fork)

 Boil chicken breasts until cooked through

Shred chicken in a separate bowl once cooked

Heat Large skillet on medium add a Tablespoon EVOO and garlic

Saute bell pepper, carrots and bok choy until tender

In a small saucepan mix the chicken broth. rice wine vinegar. peanut butter. soy sauce and red chili sauce until smooth

When Spaghetti squash is cooked removed from oven and shred the squash with a fork and discard the skin

Add the chicken, spaghetti squash and sauce to the large skillet with the veggies until everything is coated with the sauce and cook until heated through

Top with green onions, cilantro and peanuts and ENJOY!!!!

Hope you love this recipe as much as I do.
