Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add mushrooms, leeks, celery, red pepper, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and savory. Cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
  4. Stir in flour to coat vegetables and cook for 1 minute to remove raw flour taste.
  5. Add cooked chicken strips and spaghetti squash to the skillet. Stir in croutons. Cook for 4 minutes, stirring constantly, to combine flavors.
  6. Reduce heat to low. Stir in sour cream and cook, stirring constantly, just until thoroughly heated and sauce is smooth. Do not boil.
  7. Remove skillet from heat. Sprinkle with shredded Swiss cheese.
  8. Cover skillet and let stand for 1 minute to allow cheese to melt.
  9. Transfer mixture to a lightly greased 1.5-quart casserole dish if baking is preferred.
  10. Cover and bake at 350°F (177°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through.
  11. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
