This Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo Spaghetti Squash is a combination of two things my family love. My Chicken and broccoli Alfredo and spaghetti squash.

Forever I have been hearing about the amazingness of spaghetti squash and when I went to the pumpkin patch with the kids not to long ago they had some, so I bought it and figured I would try it. Everyone of my friends told me about how you can use it to make ANYTHING that you would normally use to make pasta with in use it in place of pasta so I thought I would give it a try with my all time favorite pasta dish, Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo. Oh my gosh! The flavor was amazing and no one in the house realized it was not pasta until quite a ways into dinner! My kids eat veggies and I am thankful for that but being able to have more fun with our veggies is even better.

When making my Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo Spaghetti Squash I modified my normal alfredo recipe because I wanted to make this be on the healthy end of things!

So now I am sharing this with you and I think when you make it you should skip telling the family it is not pasta and see what they think 🙂

2 whole spaghetti squash
4 ounces cream cheese
1.5 cups milk
4 tablespoons butter

While squash is cooling enough to handle heat broccoli and prep your chicken into bite sized pieces after baking get a large skillet.
