Ingredients
  

1 medium spaghetti squash

2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)

1/2 cup Buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles (optional, for added flavor)

1/4 cup green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Olive oil, for drizzling

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting.

    Prep the spaghetti squash: Carefully cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds using a spoon. Drizzle the insides of each half with olive oil, ensuring they are well coated. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and freshly cracked pepper.

      Roast the squash: Place the prepared squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes. The squash is ready when its flesh is tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.

        Make the filling: While the squash roasts, prepare the filling. In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Buffalo sauce, softened cream cheese, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese (reserve the rest for topping). Mix thoroughly until you achieve a creamy and well-blended texture.

          Scrape and combine: Once the squash is roasted, allow it to cool for a few minutes. Use a fork to scrape the flesh into spaghetti-like strands. Add these strands to the bowl with the Buffalo chicken mixture, stirring well to ensure an even distribution.

            Stuff the squash: Carefully fill each roasted spaghetti squash half with the Buffalo chicken filling, dividing it evenly between the two.

              Top with cheese: Generously sprinkle the reserved cheddar cheese atop each stuffed squash half. If desired, add blue cheese crumbles for an extra flavor kick.

                Bake again: Return the stuffed spaghetti squash to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, creating a delicious, golden topping.

                  Garnish and serve: After baking, remove the squash from the oven. Garnish each half with freshly chopped green onions for a pop of color and flavor. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
