I know, odd name for a meal, but that’s what we call it around our house. It is low carb, includes some delicious peppers and onions, and has a variety of wonderful tastes all combining for a comfortable meal when hot or a refreshing one when cold.

Spaghetti squash is a great option, though it works best for people who enjoy their spaghetti al dente. For those of us who like softer spaghetti it can take some getting used to but this meal is worth it! It helps that it is quick, too. The chicken and spaghetti can easily be prepared ahead of time; if done this way the mealtime prep only takes a few minutes.
