Place halved seeded squash in a microwave safe dish. Microwave on high for 18 minutes or until tender ( Mine took about 25 minutes)
Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook the chicken unti no longer pink. Remove from the skillet. Cook bacon and green onion in the same skillet until bacon is crisp, Remove bacon with a slotted spoon to a plate covered with paper towel. Add garlic. Cook for 1 minute. Stir in flour until blended. Add broth, wine and cream. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in remaining ingredients. Add chicken and bacon. Heat through.
When squash is cool enough to handle, use a fork to separate strands. Serve topped with chicken mixture.
