Ingredients
- 1 3-lb Spaghetti squash
- 1 lb Chicken breast
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan
- 3 tbsp Butter
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 2 cups Broccoli
- 1 pinch Nutmeg
Steps
- Roast the halved, seeded squash cut-side down at 400°F, 35 to 40 minutes, until a fork pulls the flesh into strands.
- Meanwhile, season the chicken and sear 6 minutes per side until golden and the thickest part reads 165°F; rest 5 minutes, then slice.
- Steam the broccoli 3 minutes until bright green and just tender.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet; soften the minced garlic 1 minute without letting it brown.
- Pour in the cream and simmer gently 5 minutes, until slightly thickened.
- Whisk in the parmesan until the sauce thickly coats a spoon; add a grating of nutmeg.
- Fold in the squash strands, broccoli, and sliced chicken; toss 2 minutes to marry. Serve with extra parmesan — the squash drinks up sauce as it sits.
