SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 F. Prick spaghetti squash all over with a skewer. Place spaghetti squash in a pan and bake for 1 hour. When cool enough to handle, cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise with a serrated knife. Scoop out the seeds, then shred pulp into spaghetti-like strands. Keep warm. Cut leek in half lengthwise and rinse thoroughly in a sink full of water, making sure to remove all dirt. Drain and cut leek into strips about 3 inches long and 1/2 inch wide, including 2 inches of the green part and the center tender leaves. Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Gently saute the bacon and leeks, stirring often, until leeks begin to brown and carmelize. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Stir in flour and cook 2 minutes. Carefully pour in wine. Stir and cook 2 minutes, then add chicken broth. Bring to a simmer. Add chicken, thyme, sage, salt, pepper, and cream. Gently simmer until chicken is cooked through and sauce thickens, about 5 to 8 minutes. Add tomatoes, black olives, and Parmesan cheese and cook only until heated through. Serve over cooked spaghetti squash and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
