Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Halve squash lengthwise using a sharp knife. Scrape out all of the seeds and brush interior with oil. Place cut side down on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 45 minutes. Once cooled, use a fork to scrape out the strings.

For the Pesto add all ingredients to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until all combined.
Place chicken in a well greased cast iron skillet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sautee over medium heat until chicken is cooked through.
Add spaghetti squash and pesto to skillet and combine.
