For a vegetarian option, substitute the chicken broth with vegetable broth and omit the chicken. Add tofu or tempeh for protein.
Adjust the amount of chile-garlic sauce to your preferred spice level.
If you don't have oyster sauce, you can use a bit more soy sauce and a pinch of sugar to mimic the umami flavor.
To save time, you can cook the spaghetti squash in the microwave. Cut it in half, remove the seeds, and microwave cut-side down with a little water for about 10-15 minutes, or until tender.

    I added some shrimp along with the chicken, and it was amazing! I also used a little honey to sweeten the sauce.
