1

Start by cooking frozen chicken breasts in an Instant Pot with a little water, salt, and pepper for about 15-20 minutes.

2

Microwave the spaghetti squash for 3 minutes (1.5 minutes, then poke a hole, then another 1.5 minutes) to soften it for easier cutting.

3

Cut the softened spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.

4

Drizzle the inside of the squash with avocado oil spray and season with salt and pepper.

5

Place the squash cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for about 20 minutes.

6

While the squash is roasting, chop the onion, celery, and carrots using a chopper.

7

Saute the chopped veggies in a pan until they are slightly softened.

8

Once the spaghetti squash is cooked, let it cool slightly before scraping out the strands into a large bowl.

9

Mix the spaghetti squash strands with the sautéed veggies and coat with Red Hot sauce.

10

Transfer the mixture to a casserole dish and bake until heated through.
