Creamy Chicken Spinach Artichoke Spaghetti Squash

I kind of looked at a couple recipes online and ended up improvising. This is what I came up with and it was DELICIOUS!

Ingredients:
1 spaghetti squash (pretty big)
2 TBSP olive oil
Kosher salt
Pepper

1 chicken breast diced
1/2 onion chopped
3 cloves garlic minced
1 jar alfredo sauce (I really don't like making the homemade versions but you could)
2 big handfuls of chopped spinach
1 14oz can artichoke quarters (not marinated)
1 chopped tomato
Mozzarella cheese/ parmesan cheese or whatever you have

Microwave spaghetti squash in microwave for 5 minutes. Remove from microwave and cut in half. Remove seeds. Drizzle olive oil around edges and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Cover and bake at 400 for about 25-30 minutes.

In the meantime make the sauce. Add olive oil to saute pan and sautee onion until tender. Add chicken and garlic and cook until chicken is cooked. Add jar of alfredo and heat. Add the spinach, artichokes and tomatoes. I stirred in a bit of cheese here too. Season if needed.

Remove spaghetti squash from oven and let cool a couple minutes. Remove innards and place in casserole dish. Pour sauce over top of squash and top with cheese. Return to oven uncovered for about 15 minutes. Serves 6-8 but remember it's spaghetti squash so eat a hearty portion. This was decadent, creamy and felt so sinful but the artichokes made it extra yummy. You could really add anything you want.
