Cooking Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Halve the spaghetti squash lengthwise, scoop out seeds, and place cut-side down on the baking sheet. Roast for about 30 minutes until tender.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat, add chopped bacon, and cook until crispy (about 5-7 minutes). Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain.
- In the same skillet with bacon grease, add seasoned chicken thighs and cook for about 12 minutes until golden brown, then remove and slice.
- Whisk together almond milk, chicken broth, sea salt, garlic powder, and arrowroot starch until smooth.
- Once the squash has cooled slightly, use a fork to scrape out the flesh into noodle-like strands.
- Return the skillet to medium-low heat, pour in the almond milk mixture, and heat while stirring until it simmers and thickens (3-4 minutes).
- Add the spaghetti squash strands and fresh spinach to the skillet, stirring gently for 2-3 minutes until spinach is wilted.
- Add the crispy bacon and sliced chicken back into the skillet, stir to combine, and let flavors meld for a minute before serving.
- Serve topped with cheese if desired and sprinkle fresh parsley on top.

Notes
For optimal flavor, select a firm spaghetti squash and avoid overcooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
