This chicken, spinach & artichoke stuffed spaghetti squash was inspired by my spinach artichoke stuffed chicken! I had a spaghetti squash that had to be used, so I raided my kitchen and found all of the ingredients to make our new favorite meal!
It’s delicious, creamy, packed with protein and veggies! And not to toot my own horn but it tastes AMAZING!
Super easy to make and took me less than 30min all together!
Now heres the trick, you can buy dairy free cream cheese already made (my favorites are Kite Hill or Violife) orrr you can make your own cashew cheese. Either way, it’s delish!
This recipe is Hashimoto’s friendly. It is GF, DF, Soy free, grain free and sugar free. Feel free to swap any ingredients that don’t work for you and your body!
