    Buffalo Chicken Spaghetti Squash

    That that we have all of the major holidays over we can start to focus on football food! When any games come on, he always want buffalo this, buffalo that. Let's just say we are HUGE buffalo chicken dip lovers here. 🙂

    Buffalo Chicken Spaghetti Squash

    Now that January has started, have you started thinking about any goals that you want to set for this year? I typically set way too many goals that I never have the time to accomplish. This year I have started to set realistic goals for myself and with Gal on a Mission.

    I am a tad bit late, but when I finish them I will definitely share them with you all! 🙂

    Let's get back to this cheesy, buffalo goodness, okay?

    Buffalo Chicken Spaghetti Squash

    I love how easy this is to make. The longest part of the entire recipe is baking the spaghetti squash; however, you aren't really doing anything and just waiting. My favorite kind of recipes, your's too?

    If you don't already have the chicken cooked and shredded as stated in the recipe below, you can cook it on low on the stove top with a lid. I did not season it because once you add of all of the ingredients it has so  much flavor already. If you insist on seasoning it, just add a pinch of salt and pepper. Simple is always better.

      Chelsea, Your Buffalo Chicken Spaghetti Squash looks delicious! I'm confused on one part. It says to scoop out the insides of the spaghetti squash and then put the chicken mixture on top of the spaghetti squash. Do you save the insides to use in something else or does it go into the mixture as well?

      Reply
      • Chelsea says

        January 25, 2014 at 3:19 pm

        Donna - Scooping out the insides of the spaghetti squash means to take out the seeds. After you remove the seeds, you will then use a fork to loosen up some of the spaghetti squash.

        Please let me know how you like it, Donna! Have a wonderful weekend 🙂

      Ohmigosh, I'm so mad I just saw this now! I bought some spaghetti squash last week so that I could make this southwestern style squash dish with black beans, corn, peppers, cheese, salsa and it's yummy. But right after, I turned to pinterest and found this recipe! It looks AMAZING. Normally it bothers me when people post about a recipe without actually trying it out personally - but I am positive I will absolutely LOVE this when I make it. And hopefully it will be soon. So, thank you for posting this! 🙂
