For extra flavor, try adding a sprinkle of garlic powder or onion powder to the Buffalo chicken mixture. Adjust the amount of Buffalo sauce to your preferred level of spiciness. If you don't have a microwave, you can roast the spaghetti squash in the oven. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C), drizzle the squash with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast for 45-60 minutes, or until tender. Feel free to substitute the chicken with canned black beans or chickpeas for a vegetarian option. Garnish with chopped green onions or fresh cilantro for added freshness.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
11 mins
Prepare the Squash: Place spaghetti squash cut-side down on a microwave-safe plate. Pierce the skin several times with a fork. Microwave on high for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until the squash is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
02
Step
4 mins
Make the Buffalo Chicken Mixture: While the squash is cooking, heat a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the softened cream cheese and stir until melted and smooth, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in the Buffalo wing sauce until well combined. Incorporate the shredded chicken breast and ranch dressing. Remove from heat.
03
Step
2 mins
Assemble the Dish: Once the squash is cool enough to handle, use a fork to scrape the flesh into spaghetti-like strands within each half. Pour the Buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the spaghetti squash. Sprinkle generously with the shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend and crumbled blue cheese.
04
Step
4 mins
Broil to Perfection: Position an oven rack about 6 inches from the broiler. Preheat the broiler on high. Place the squash halves under the preheated broiler and cook for approximately 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown.
