A smoky, saucy casserole packed with juicy chicken, crispy bacon, and tender spaghetti squash—all smothered in a tangy paleo BBQ sauce. Perfect for meal prep, Whole30, or family dinners!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large spaghetti squash, cooked and shredded
  • 1 lb bacon, divided
  • 1 red onion, diced
  • 2 lbs chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1½–2 cups paleo BBQ sauce
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 3 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a 13×9-inch pan with parchment.
  2. Place shredded spaghetti squash in a large bowl; pat dry.
  3. Cut bacon into pieces; cook in a skillet until crispy. Remove half; set aside.
  4. Add onion and chicken to remaining bacon; sauté until chicken is cooked and onion is soft.
  5. Add chicken mixture to squash. Stir in BBQ sauce, pepper, salt, and garlic powder. Mix well.
  6. Stir in eggs until fully combined.
  7. Spread mixture in prepared pan; top with reserved bacon.
  8. Bake 30–35 minutes, until set and golden.

Notes

  • Pat squash dry to avoid a watery casserole.
  • Use sugar-free BBQ sauce for Whole30.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge up to 4 days; reheat in the oven for best texture.
  • For extra heat, add diced jalapeños or smoked paprika.
