  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  4. Cook chicken in a skillet for about 4 minutes on each side.
  5. While chicken is cooking in the skillet, scrape your spaghetti squash using a spoon or knife until you get about 10 cups out. Put spaghetti squash in a bowl.
  6. Add olive oil, salt and pepper, cooked chicken, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and fresh basil in bowl and combine.
  7. Add spaghetti squash back in bowl and bake the spaghetti squash in the oven for 20 minutes.
  8. While spaghetti squash is cooking, mix balsamic vinegar and honey together.
  9. Remove spaghetti squash after 20 minutes or when all cheese is melted, and tomatoes have begun to burst. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and serve warm!
