Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, scoop out seeds, and place cut-side down on a baking sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes until tender when pierced with a fork.
  2. Step 2: Pat chicken thighs dry, then mix 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1 tsp dried rosemary, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper in a bowl. Rub mixture over chicken thighs.
  3. Step 3: Place chicken on a separate baking sheet, skin-side up, and roast at 400°F for 25-30 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. Step 4: Use a fork to separate strands from baked spaghetti squash. Transfer to a large bowl, add 1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes and 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, then toss until combined.
  5. Step 5: Serve spaghetti squash mixture topped with roasted chicken thighs and any pan drippings.
