Tonight I will be making spaghetti squash with grilled chicken and sun-dried tomatoes... Here's the recipe.  Let me know what you're making tonight.  Enjoy!

Ingredients:
1 whole spaghetti squash
2 T. EVOO
3 cloves garlic
1 C. chicken broth
1/3 C. sun dried tomatoes
2 C. broccoli florets
1 C. frozen peas
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (grilled and sliced)
1/4 C. grated parmesan
1 pinch S&P to taste

Prep:
1.  Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut squash in half lengthwise and scrape/remove seeds with spoon.  Place squash halves cut side down and bake on baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes.

2.  Allow to cool.  Using a fork, scrape the inside of the squash to remove strands.

3.  In a skillet, heat EVOO over med-high heat.  Add garlic and saute 1 minute.

4.  Add 1/4 C. chicken broth, sun dried tomatoes, and broccoli and cook 5 minutes.  Season as needed.

5.  Add peas, grilled chicken, and remaining 3/4 C. broth.  Shake about 1/4 C. cheese into mixture (just enough to thicken the liquid).

6.  Reduce to med-low heat and cover.  Simmer for about 5 minutes.

7.  Serve on top of squash strands with fresh shaved Parmesan cheese.
