Como fazer Lemon Chicken And Spaghetti Squash

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pierce the spaghetti squash several times with a fork.
Microwave the whole squash on high for 5 minutes to soften it slightly.
Cut the squash in half lengthwise through the holes you made.
Scoop out the seeds and stringy parts with a spoon.
Drizzle the cut sides of the squash with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and season generously with salt and pepper.
Place the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until tender.
While the squash is baking, prepare the chicken and sauce.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-5 minutes, until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes.
Pour in the lemon juice and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly reduced.
Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes to heat through.
Add the trimmed asparagus and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until tender-crisp.
Once the spaghetti squash is cooked, let it cool slightly.
Use a fork to shred the flesh of the squash.
Gently toss the shredded squash with the chicken and sauce.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
