CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI TWICE-BAKED SPAGHETTI SQUASH



Chicken and Broccoli Twice-Baked Spaghetti Squash image

Provided by Katie Lee Biegel

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h5m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 medium spaghetti squash (2 1/2 to 3 pounds)
1 cup broccoli florets
2 cups 2% milk
1 clove garlic, smashed
4 ounces Neufchatel cheese (or 1/3 less fat cream cheese)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cooked chicken breasts, diced (use rotisserie chicken for a shortcut)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • With a sharp knife, carefully cut about four 1/2-inch slits in the squash to allow steam to escape while it cooks. Put the squash on a baking sheet and roast for about 1 1/2 hours. Let the squash cool for about 20 minutes on the baking sheet.
  • Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a bowl and prepare an ice water bath. Blanch the broccoli briefly in the boiling water, then transfer to the ice bath to cool. Drain and set aside.
  • Cut the squash in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds. With a large fork, pull the squash fibers away from the outer peel (use a towel to hold the squash in place if necessary). Reserve the squash and the outer peel.
  • Preheat the broiler.
  • Put the milk and garlic in a saucepan over medium-high heat and heat until it just begins to simmer, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, add the Neufchatel cheese, Parmesan and 1 cup of the mozzarella and stir until melted. Turn off the heat, stir in the yogurt and season with salt and pepper. Remove the garlic. Add the squash, chicken and broccoli and toss to coat. Divide the mixture between the reserved squash peels. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella.
  • Place the stuffed squash onto a baking sheet and broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly, a few minutes.

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided, plus more for the pasta water
1/2 pound (8 ounces) fusilli pasta
1 bunch broccoli rabe, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
1 shallot, sliced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
Half a rotisserie chicken, meat pulled and shredded, about 2 cups shredded meat
1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Season the water generously with salt. Cook the pasta for 2 minutes less than the package directions indicate, about 6 minutes. Add the broccoli rabe to the water with the pasta and cook for an additional minute. Drain well reserving 1 cup of the pasta water.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and heat an additional minute. To the hot oil add the garlic, shallot, 1/2 teaspoon salt and red pepper flakes, if using. Cook, stirring often with a wooden spoon for 2 minutes or until soft and fragrant. Add the chicken and toss well to coat in all the flavors. Cook, stirring often until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add the pasta to the pan along with the Parmigiano-Reggiano. Toss well to combine adding the pasta water as needed to create a light sauce. Serve with additional cheese if desired.

JOY'S PASTA WITH CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI



Joy's Pasta with Chicken and Broccoli image

I found this recipe in the Chicago Tribune Food Guide about 10 years ago. It's called "Joy's" because it's Regis Philbin's wife, Joy's, recipe. He raved about this dish on "Live" one day and shortly afterward, his wife Joy demonstrated the recipe on the show. It's really good and cooks pretty fast once you assemble all your ingredients.

a favorite recipe of her kids, she made this on the show years ago - and it IS incredibly good!! i used to freeze portions for later...

Provided by carrie sheridan

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h20m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 whole chicken breasts, poached and shredded
40 ounces frozen broccoli, packages cooked and well-drained
3 (10 3/4 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
2 1/4 cups vegan mayonnaise or 2 1/4 cups Hellmann's mayonnaise
1 cup half-and-half
2 1/4 cups grated cheddar cheese
3 teaspoons lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
1 1/2 cups corn flake crumbs
3 tablespoons butter, to grease pan

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, blend the soup, mayo, half and half, grated cheddar, lemon juice and curry powder.
  • Place shredded chicken into a 13X9 glass pan that has been well-buttered.
  • Place cooked and drained broccoli over the chicken.
  • Pour soup mixture over the chicken and broccoli to cover.
  • Sprinkle generously with the cornflake crumbs.
  • Bake at 350 for 40 minutes.
  • Let sit 10-15 minutes.
  • This is very filling and a little goes a long way.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Cook the chicken thoroughly: Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure that it is safe to eat.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your dish the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh vegetables on hand, you can use frozen vegetables, but make sure to thaw them before cooking.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, which means it should be tender but still have a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unappetizing.
  • Add the chicken and vegetables to the pasta at the end of cooking: This will help prevent the chicken and vegetables from overcooking.
  • Serve immediately: Chicken and broccoli pasta is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the pasta is hot and the flavors are at their best.

Conclusion:

Chicken and broccoli pasta is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a satisfying and healthy meal on the table in no time.
