1

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Set the spaghetti squash, cut-side up, on a baking sheet.
2

Bake in the preheated oven until the squash is tender, 30 to 45 minutes. Use a fork to shred the squash flesh and discard the peel.
3

Stir together the chicken broth, peanut butter, chile-garlic sauce, fish sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, oyster sauce, ginger, sesame oil, and black pepper in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Whisk the water and cornstarch in a bowl until smooth; add to the broth mixture and keep boiling until the sauce thickens, 5 to 10 minutes. Lower the heat to low and simmer the sauce.
4

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; saute the broccoli slaw, zucchini, red bell pepper, green onion, cilantro, and shredded spaghetti squash until tender, about 10 minutes. Add the chicken and sauce to the squash mixture; cook and stir until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
