We love this dish as a meatless main meal or a side dish with baked or grilled chicken. It is especially good paired with grilled chicken marinated in our Christie’s Chicken Marinade, which has a similar flavor profile!

Spaghetti squash is a great lower-calorie, lower carbohydrate alternative to pasta. It is also high in fiber, which can aid with digestion and weight loss and can help lower cholesterol levels. The neutral flavor of spaghetti squash absorbs all the flavors of this simple skillet meal.
