Ingredients
  

  • 1 whole Spaghetti Squash
  • 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil melted
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil
  • 1 pound Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 cup Full Fat Coconut Milk
  • 2 tablespoons Capers
  • Fresh Parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Slice spaghetti squash and place halves on rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with tablespoon of coconut oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Bake about 45 minutes, until the strands of the spaghetti squash pull away easily.

  • Spread onto the bottom of a casserole dish.
  • To make the chicken, melt the coconut oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet.
  • Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides and add to the hot pan.
  • Cook for 4 minutes on first side, until a deep golden brown, flip, and cook another few minutes, until golden.
  • Place the chicken thighs on top of the spaghetti squash. In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add lemon juice and use a wooden spoon to scrape up all the browned bits.
  • Add coconut milk and capers and stir to combine.
  • Pour over the chicken and spaghetti squash.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.
  • Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
