Steps:
- Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Roast the spaghetti squash according to this recipe for Roasted Spaghetti Squash. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, heat a large saucepan over medium and add the bacon. Cook until the bacon is crisp and the fat has rendered; about 8 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and pat dry.
- Discard all but 1 tablespoon bacon fat from the pan and increase the heat to medium-high. Add the chicken pieces to the pan and season with garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Sauté until the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat, then add the spinach. Stir the chicken and spinach together until the spinach wilts, then stir in the Greek yogurt, half of the mozzarella cheese, and basil.
- Once the squash is cool enough to handle, use a fork to shred and fluff the inside flesh so it's no longer attached to the walls and makes a "nest."
- Divide the chicken filling evenly among the boats, using a fork to lightly mix it with the spaghetti squash. Arrange the stuffed squash on a baking sheet and sprinkle with the reserved bacon and remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Bake until the cheesy is bubbly, about 10 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes, then serve hot, sprinkled with additional fresh basil.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- With a sharp knife, carefully cut about four 1/2-inch slits in the squash to allow steam to escape while it cooks. Put the squash on a baking sheet and roast for about 1 1/2 hours. Let the squash cool for about 20 minutes on the baking sheet.
- Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a bowl and prepare an ice water bath. Blanch the broccoli briefly in the boiling water, then transfer to the ice bath to cool. Drain and set aside.
- Cut the squash in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds. With a large fork, pull the squash fibers away from the outer peel (use a towel to hold the squash in place if necessary). Reserve the squash and the outer peel.
- Preheat the broiler.
- Put the milk and garlic in a saucepan over medium-high heat and heat until it just begins to simmer, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, add the Neufchatel cheese, Parmesan and 1 cup of the mozzarella and stir until melted. Turn off the heat, stir in the yogurt and season with salt and pepper. Remove the garlic. Add the squash, chicken and broccoli and toss to coat. Divide the mixture between the reserved squash peels. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella.
- Place the stuffed squash onto a baking sheet and broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly, a few minutes.

Steps:
- Whisk salad dressing, pepper flakes, onion powder, and paprika together in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours.
- When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Pierce squash with a fork lengthwise around the center edge. Place on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high for 3 to 5 minutes, depending on size. Let cool in the microwave for 1 minute.
- Remove from the microwave and slice in half along the score line. Scoop out and discard seeds. Rub flesh with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place squash halves, cut-sides down, on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until squash is tender when pierced with a fork, about 40 minutes.
- While the squash is baking, pour chicken and marinade into a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook until juices run clear, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Add garlic to the skillet and reduce heat to medium; stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add spinach and tomatoes and saute until spinach is wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in cream, Parmesan cheese, and cream cheese; cook until melted and heated through, about 3 minutes. Add chicken back to the skillet and warm it up for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, remove squash from the oven and let cool for 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Flip squash halves over, and use a fork to shred the flesh into strands, keeping it inside the shells. Spoon in the sauce mixture and toss gently to mix with squash. Top each half with mozzarella cheese.
- Return to the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes. Let sit for 1 to 2 minutes before serving.
