Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 medium spaghetti squash halved and seeds removed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
For the Chicken
  • 2 large chicken breasts boneless and skinless
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ginger powder
For the Sauce
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 cup fresh spinach chopped

Method
 

Prepare the Spaghetti Squash
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Drizzle the halved spaghetti squash with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  3. Place the squash cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for 30-35 minutes, or until tender.
Cook the Chicken
  1. While the squash is roasting, season the chicken breasts with curry powder, garlic powder, ginger powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  3. Cook the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat and let rest.
Prepare the Sauce
  1. In the same skillet, add coconut milk and lime juice, stirring to combine.
  2. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then add the chopped spinach and stir until wilted.
Assemble the Dish
  1. Once the spaghetti squash is done, scrape the flesh with a fork to create strands.
  2. Slice the cooked chicken and add it to the spaghetti squash strands.
  3. Pour the coconut curry sauce over the chicken and spaghetti squash, mixing gently to combine.
Serve
  1. Divide the curried spaghetti squash with chicken into bowls and serve warm.
  2. Garnish with additional lime juice or fresh herbs if desired.
