Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Using a fork, pierce holes along one side of the spaghetti squash.
- Microwave the squash for 5 minutes to make it easier to cut open.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the squash in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds with a spoon.
- Transfer the squash to a roasting pan and drizzle with oil. Season the flesh with salt and pepper, and flip the squash so that the cavity faces down on the pan.
- Bake for 40 minutes until the squash is easily pierced with a knife.
- Once out of the oven, use a fork to pull the threads out of the spaghetti squash.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat in a large, nonstick skillet. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper and sear them on each side for about 4 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the pan and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into cubes.
- Toss the green beans into the pan and sauté until they've started to soften.
- Add in the spaghetti squash, pesto, and chicken, and toss until well combined.
- After the mixture is heated through, toss in the cherry tomatoes and give the pan one last toss to help everything come together.
- Remove from heat and serve.
- Enjoy!

ITALIAN CHICKEN PESTO WITH SPAGHETTI SQUASH
This is a great new paleo version of your favorite Italian recipe with spaghetti squash. I like to sprinkle a bit of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese over mine.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Sprinkle squash with Italian seasoning and place upside-down on a rimmed baking tray. Add about 1 inch of water.
- Bake in the preheated oven until tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes; strands of squash should easily pull away when scraped with a fork.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Cook and stir sausage, uncovered, in the hot skillet until mostly browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Stir in broccoli and bell pepper. Reduce heat to low and add squash strands. Sprinkle basil, rosemary, and Italian seasoning, on top and drizzle with olive oil. Stir in 2 big spoonfuls of pesto, adding more to taste, followed by sun-dried tomatoes. Let simmer over low heat for 2 to 5 minutes. Serve.
