Makes 4 servings (2½ cups per serving)

Ingredients

• 2 spaghetti squash (4½ lb. total; should yield about 8 cups cooked squash) 
• 1 tbsp coconut oil 
• 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into small cubes
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced 
• 2 cloves minced garlic 
• 3 baby bok choy, chopped 
• 1 large carrot, sliced 
• ½ red chili pepper, minced 
• 1½ tbsp low sodium soy sauce 
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar 
• 4 tbsp natural peanut butter 
• ¼ cup water 
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp roasted unsalted peanuts, chopped

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. 
2. Halve squash and remove seeds. Bake, cut side down, until tender when pierced with a fork, about 45 minutes. Using a fork, shred strands from squash into a bowl. Set aside.
3. Meanwhile, heat coconut oil in a large fry pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Add ginger and garlic. Cook, stirring, until chicken is cooked through, about 3 – 4 minutes.
4. Reduce heat to medium. Add bok choy, carrots and chili pepper and cook until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes.
5. Add soy sauce, rice vinegar and peanut butter and stir to combine. If needed, add water to sauce to adjust consistency. Simmer until vegetables are tender, about 4 minutes. 
6. Add chicken and vegetable mixture to shredded spaghetti squash and stir to combine. Top with sliced green onion and chopped peanuts.
7. Serve and enjoy!
