No Pasta Chicken Spagetti



Recommended Posts

Here is a recipe that my wife perfected over the last 2 months:

No Pasta chicken Spagetti

Ingredients

1 medium Spagetti Squash

1.2 lbs of Rotisserie Chicken (it took almost 1 1/2 chickens)

1 1/4 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

1 1/4 cup of diced Bell Pepper (I used mostly red with a little green)

1 diced small white Onion

1 can Cream of Chicken Soup - low fat

1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup - 98% fat free

Salt / Black Pepper / Italian Seasoning

Steps

1 Cut spaghetti squash in half, remove seeds, and place cut side down on a foil lined baking pan.

2 Bake for 45 minutes at 375 degrees. Let cool and remove the spaghetti like flesh with a fork.

3 Place the spaghetti like flesh back on the baking sheet, spread it out evenly, and bake for 30 minutes at 180 degrees to reduce the liquid in the squash. Stir after 15 minutes. Remove from the oven when the very tips of the squash look like they are drying out.

4 In a mixing bowl, combine all other ingredients except salt, pepper, and seasoning. Mix together and spread on top of spaghetti squash while still on the baking sheet.

5. Evenly distribute the salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. I used about 1 1/4 teaspoon of Kosher salt, 1 teaspoon of fresh cracked black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of Italian Seasoning.

6. Mix all ingredients very well and transfer to a 9 x 13 casserole dish.

7 Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

Makes about 10 Servings. My nutrition app gave this per serving:

Calories 187; Fat 8 grams; Carbs 9 grams; Protein 18 grams

I use sliced zucchini as lasagna noodles and layer them with the meat and cottage cheese. My family loves it. Not sure on calories though.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
