Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and guts. Drizzle the flesh side with olive oil and place face down on a baking sheet. Bake for about 45 minutes, until you can stick a knife in in easily.<\/p>\n<p>When squash is done, remove from the oven and let it cool for about 5-10 minutes. When it is cool enough to handle, use a fork to scrape out all of the spaghetti squash, until all you have left is the skin.<\/p>\n<p>Set the squash in a colander for about 10 minutes to drain all of the excess moisture.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, make the sauce. Put all of the ingredients for the sauce into a small saucepan and whisk to combine. Put over medium-low heat to warm. Don&#8217;t let it come to a boil, just keep it warm while you are cooking the rest of the meal.<\/p>\n<p>Now cook the chicken. Cut the chicken into small pieces and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the chicken with 2 tbsp of olive oil, stir occasionally until chicken is lightly brown.<\/p>\n<p>Add the peppers, carrots, green onions and garlic, and saute for about 3-4 minutes, until vegetables are tender-crisp.<\/p>\n<p>Add the drained spaghetti squash and the sauce to the skillet and stir until evenly distributed.<\/p>\n<p>Remove from skillet and put the squash mixture into a large bowl. At this time, add the peanuts, and cilantro. Stir.<\/p>\n<p>To serve, garnish with a few more peanuts and cilantr<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ingredients 1 lb chicken breast 1 large spaghetti squash 2 large carrots, grated 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced 4 green onions, thinly sliced + more for garnish 3 garlic cloves, minced 1\/4 cup cilantro, plus more for garnish 1\/3 cup chopped peanuts 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil For the sauce 1\/4 cup chicken&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":57,"featured_media":708,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[42],"tags":[53,52,59,62,71,38,45],"class_list":["post-707","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-low-calorie-meals","tag-food","tag-low-calorie","tag-low-calorie-meals","tag-meals-under-400-calories","tag-recipe","tag-recipes","tag-under-400-calories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/707","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/57"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=707"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/707\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":709,"href":"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/707\/revisions\/709"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/708"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=707"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=707"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/food\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=707"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
