Spaghetti Squash and Chicken Casserole

After getting off work the other day I really really really did not feel like cooking a large in depth meal. I wanted something easy and simple.  This is when I tend to give into something like pizza, or mac and cheese...but I was good!  I looked in my fridge and freezer and found about 1/2 a spaghetti squash left over, some chicken, peas and broccoli.  What was I going to do with these ingredients?!?
I thought I could just throw it all together, but I wanted some kind of sauce to go with it, but nothing cream based.........So that's how I came to this!! Now word of caution, there is a little bit of cheese in this one...not a lot thought!!  This did make two servings for me!


1/2 Already prepared Spaghetti Squash
1 chicken breast
1/2 C frozen Peas
1 C frozen Broccoli
1/2 C chicken broth
1/4 C parmesan cheese
1/2 T onion powder
1/2 T garlic powder
1/2 T paprika
salt and pepper to taste

Start off by cutting you chicken into about 1" cubes, then season with onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and salt and pepper.  Heat about 1/2 T of oil in a skillet.  Add chicken and cook until done, about 8 minutes or so...Then dump everything else in the pot, cover, and let simmer for 5 minutes.  Voila!! Done!! So simple and easy, and surprising really really good!!!  I enjoyed this dish, and hope you do too!! Sorry, it's not that flattering, but hey, it's good!
