Advertisement
DIRECTIONS :
- Preheat the oven to 400º and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Drizzle both cut sides of spaghetti squash halves with olive oil, then season generously with salt and pepper.
- Place cut side down on a lined baking sheet and roast for 35 minutes, or until fork tender. Remove from oven and let rest until cool enough to handle.
- Use a fork to scrape up the insides of squash, leaving at least 1/2-inch space around the bottom and sides. Transfer scraped “spaghetti” to a colander and place in the sink or over a large bowl.
- In a separate large bowl, mix together chicken, green chiles, green onion, enchilada sauce, corn, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, crema, and chile powder.
- Mix squash strands into the sauce mixture, then divide the filling in half and pour it back into the squash shells.
- Return the squash to baking sheets, then sprinkle Mexican cheese evenly over the tops.
- Place the stuffed squash in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from oven and serve hot.
