Here’s an interesting fun fact about this chicken alfredo recipe you’re about to get…
I opened the can of coconut milk and noticed it was fairly solidified, with coconut cream forming around the top and the coconut water below in the bottom of the can. This is common and is typically a sign of good quality coconut milk.
Not paying much attention to it, I proceeded to tip the can to pour the coconut milk into my Bullet Blender so that I could make the Alfredo sauce for the recipe. I should mention, the Bullet Blender I was using was small, only the size of a large glass, just big enough to fit an entire can of coconut milk.
Since the top was solid with coconut cream, I had to squeeze the can a little bit in an attempt to force the cream to break and let the coconut water below flow free into the blender. What I didn’t anticipate was for the cream to bust open suddenly, tip the Bullet Blender over and for the entire can of coconut milk to squirt all over my cupboards, dump all over the counter and eventually drip onto the floor. An entire can of coconut milk all over my cupboards, counter and floor.
If you’re wondering, cleaning up an entire can of coconut milk is not a pleasant experience.

Instructions
Spaghetti Squash
- Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees Celsius.

- Drizzle 1 tbsp avocado oil over the inside of the squash. Repeat for both sides.
- Place the squash face-down on a baking sheet and place in the oven for 30-50 minutes, depending on the size of your squash.
- When the meat of the squash is easily pierced with a fork, it's done.

Alfredo Sauce
- Boil the cauliflower until it softens.
- Add the coconut milk, chicken broth, crushed garlic, sea salt, crushed cashews and boiled cauliflower to a high-powered blender.

Chicken
- In a large sauce-pan, warm 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken and cook until done, stirring occasionally.
- When the chicken is done, add the broccoli and mix together. Cook for 10-15 minutes until the broccoli softens.
- Add the mushrooms and cook for another 5-10 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the sauce and mix together. Use as much or as little sauce as your preference.
