Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- First, pre-bake the spaghetti squash as mentioned above. Preheat the oven to 400F. Then, over medium heat in a large cast-iron skillet, start cooking the chicken pieces. Cook, stirring often, until the pieces are browned and mostly cooked through.
- Add in the onion and mushrooms, and continue cooking until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms have shrunk a bit. The chicken should be fully cooked now.
- Turn of the element and stir in the pesto and coconut milk until combined and evenly covering everything. Next, stir in the whipped eggs and salt, and mix thoroughly. Sprinkle with the basil, and place in preheated oven.
- Bake for about 1 hour, until the whole thing has set and the middle is firm when you poke it. Slice and serve with a nice salad on the side.

Made this last weekend and it was great. Prepared and baked it in a 10″ cast iron skillet which firmed it up well.
May just use ground chicken breast next time to ramp up the healthiness. Don’t think I’ll notice a difference with the pesto and onion keeping things savory on their own.
