I found this recipe @destinationdelish.com when I was desperately searching ideas for what to do with all the spaghetti squash I had in the fall! These were Delicious and if I didnt tell anyone that there was squash in them, everyone just thought they were shredded chicken cups! 👏👌😏🥳😄 #kansascityshuffle #baitandswitch #subterfuge #sneakymomrecipes #pickyeatertricks #spaghettisquash

  3. 1/8 teaspoonpepper
  4. 1/4 teaspoonsalt
  5. 2 cupscooked chicken breast, chopped into small cubes
  6. 2 tablespoonsblue cheese crumbles
  7. 1/3 cupbuffalo sauce (like Frank’s Red Hot sauce)
  8. 2extra large eggs
  9. Fresh chopped chives
  10. Ranch dressing

Cooking Instructions

60-70mins
  1. 1

    Cook the squash: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds. Rub ¼ tablespoon of olive oil on each half and sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon of salt and ⅛ teaspoon pepper. Place in the oven, flesh side up, and roast for 30 minutes. Let the squash cool and scrape out the strands. Release the excess liquid from the squash strands.

  2. 2

    Coat chicken breasts with seasonings and hot sauce and bake in the oven until done all the way through. Let cool. Cut into cubes or shred. I did a little bit of both.🤷🏻‍♀️😏👌

  3. 3

    Whisk the eggs in a large bowl and stir in the spaghetti squash.

  4. 4

    Add the chicken cubes, blue cheese, and buffalo sauce to a bowl and stir to combine.

  5. 5

    Pour the chicken into the squash mixture and stir to combine. Prepare the cups and bake: Place an even amount of the chicken and squash mixture into each cup of a well-greased, 12-cup muffin tin. Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes until the edges have browned and the middle of the cups are set. 

  6. 6

    Use a knife to loosen the cups from the edges of the muffin tin and scoop them out with a fork or spoon. Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing and a sprinkle of crumbled blue cheese and fresh chives.

  7. 7

    Serve as a side dish or a main course! 👏
