Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut squash in half and scoop out the seeds with a spoon.
  • Lay skin side down on a rimmed sheet pan, lined with aluminum foil. Cut your chicken in half so you have for pieces of chicken.
  • Place the chicken on the sheet pan, season with salt and pepper. Bake for 45 mins or until cooked to a touch with a fork.
  • While the chicken and squash is cooking you can put together the sauce.
  • In a medium sauce pan saute the onion and garlic in the oil until translucent. Add in the cumin and cook for an extra minute. Place that mixture into a blender with the tomatoes, chili, oregano, salt and pepper.
  • Blend the mixture until smooth. Pour it back into the sauce pan and simmer of low heat while the squash finishes cooking.
  • When the chicken reaches 160 degrees take it out and with two forks shred the chicken up.
  • Scrape the flesh of the squash with a fork to create noodles.
  • Combine all the ingredients besides the cheese in a large bowl.
  • Return the mixture to the empty shells and top with the cheese.
  • Place under the broiler until golden brown.
