This casserole is seriously even more amazing and delicious then it sounds and looks! I have always loved the barbecue, chicken, and bacon combination, so anytime I find a paleo recipe with these ingredients I am going to try it. If you follow my blog some, you know my go-to options lately for BBQ sauce are either Tessemae's BBQ sauce or Steve's PaleoChef Peach BBQ, both sold at the Whole Foods near me. For this casserole I used Tessemae's BBQ sauce and absolutely loved it. I only had a few other notes about this recipe... First, make sure you buy a large spaghetti squash! Mine looked large in the store, but I was disappointed with how much spaghetti squash I actually got out of it after cooking. Side note, if you've never made spaghetti squash before check out these easy instructions for guidance (and definitely cook for 45 minutes). A second note I had was I didn't use a pound of bacon. As much as I love bacon, this casserole made me six meals and I did not want to eat a pound of bacon in six meals. I used 6 slices instead, but I think anywhere between 6-8 slices of bacon is plenty. Okay that is all. Seriously go make this recipe, you won't regret it!

Paleo Barbecue Chicken Casserole
Ingredients:
  • 1 large spaghetti squash, cooked and shredded
  • 1 pound beef bacon, divided (I used 6 slices)
  • 1 red onion, diced
  • 2 pounds chicken breast, cut into bite size pieces
  • 1 1/2-2 cups paleo bbq sauce (I used 1 cup of ​Tessemae's BBQ sauce)
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • salt to taste, depends on how salty the bbq sauce is
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 eggs, room temperature
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 400° and line a 13x9 with parchment paper.
  2. Place cooked spaghetti squash in a large bowl and pat dry with paper towel.
  3. Cut bacon with scissors and place in a large skillet.
  4. Cook on medium/high until crispy. Remove half onto a plate and add onion and chicken to remaining bacon.
  5. Cook until onion is tender and chicken is cooked through.
  6. Add chicken mixture to the spaghetti squash and then add the barbecue sauce. Start with 1 1/2 cups and add more if needed. Add the pepper, salt if needed, and garlic powder. Stir until everything is mixed well.
  7. Add the eggs, stirring completely.
  8. Place mixture into prepared pan, top with remaining bacon and bake 30-35 minutes.
