INGREDIENTS
1 small spaghetti squash (about 2-1/4 lbs.), halved lengthwise and seeded
1/4 cup water
2 Tbsp. Promise® Buttery Spread, divided
1 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
1 large zucchini, chopped
1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 Tbsp. thinly sliced fresh basil leaves (optional)
 
DIRECTIONS

Arrange uncovered squash cut side down in 11 x 7-inch baking dish; add water. Microwave uncovered at HIGH 10 minutes or until tender. Let stand 5 minutes. Gently scrape squash with fork to pull apart spaghetti-like strands; discard shallots. Toss squash, 1 tablespoon Promise® Buttery Spread and cheese in medium bowl.

Meanwhile, melt remaining 1 tablespoon Spread in 12-inch skillet and cook chicken, stirring occasionally, 6 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked. Remove chicken and keep warm.

Add zucchini to same skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in tomatoes and garlic and cook 2 minutes or until tomatoes are starting to break down. Stir in basil. Return chicken to skillet.

Evenly divide squash between 2 dinner plates, then top with chicken mixture. Season, if desired, with freshly ground black pepper.
