Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 smaller chicken breasts or 2 large cut in half lengthwise
  • 1 package Boursin cheese garlic and herb flavor
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt plus more to taste
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 large spaghetti squash
  • 1/2 cup pesto
  • Parmesan cheese optional for serving

Equipment

  • 9x13-inch casserole dish
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • sharp knife
  • spoon
  • forks
  • mixing spoon or tongs

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the Boursin in the center of a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
  2. Arrange the chicken breasts and cherry tomatoes around the cheese. Drizzle with olive oil, then season the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
  3. Cut the spaghetti squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Place cut-side down on a lined baking sheet.
  4. Bake the squash and casserole dish at the same time for 40 minutes.
  5. Shred the chicken and add in the cooked spaghetti squash strands.
  6. Stir in the pesto and toss everything together with the melted Boursin cheese.
  7. Serve topped with Parmesan cheese if desired, and season with more salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

Shredding the chicken helps the sauce coat it more evenly.
Taste before adding extra salt because the cheese and pesto already bring seasoning.
Serve hot for the creamiest texture.
