NOTE: This sauce will stay good for up to 2 weeks in an air-tight container in the fridge.

Directions:

1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Cut slits into the Spaghetti Squash and place in Microwave for 8-10 minutes to make cutting in half easier.

2. Once out of the Microwave cut Spaghetti Squash in half (stem to tail) and scoop out seeds. Brush Olive Oil and sprinkle with Salt and Pepper.

3. Place Spaghetti Squash face down on a foiled baking sheet and place in the oven. Let bake for 35-45 minutes, until inside is tender.

4. Place Marinated Chicken into a baking dish and when the Spaghetti Squash has about 5 minutes left put the Marinated Chicken in the oven and let bake for 20 minutes. Also, up the oven temperature to 450 degrees.

5. Use a fork and scrap the flesh into Spaghetti-like strands. Spoon Enchilada Sauce onto the Spaghetti Squash then sprinkle a healthy amount of shredded Mozzarella Cheese on top. Place back in the oven for another 10 minutes.

6. Remove both the Marinated Chicken Breast and Spaghetti Squash from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes.

7. Plate and Enjoy!
