Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. Place spaghetti squash in a shallow, non-reactive baking dish.

  3. Roast in the preheated oven until squash is soft when punctured with a fork, 30 to 45 minutes. When cool enough to handle, cut in half lengthwise, and scoop out and discard seeds. Gently scoop out flesh and place in a bowl with shredded chicken.

  4. Combine basil, olive oil, pine nuts, garlic, lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon sea salt in the bowl of a food processor, process until smooth. Add pesto to the spaghetti squash and chicken, tossing to combine. Season with sea salt and pepper.
