Categories     Dinner

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large spaghetti squash
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
2 eggs, beaten
flour
italian bread crumb
marinara sauce
shredded mozzarella cheese
grated parmesan cheese
italian seasoning, to taste
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
oil, for frying

Steps:

  • With a sharp knife, slice the squash in half. (If the squash is too tough - puncture in several places forming a dotted line around the squash. Microwave for 3-5 minutes to soften. Allow to cool before cutting in half - following the dotted line).
  • Scoop out the seeds - brush with oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Roast face down in a preheated oven at 375˚F (190˚C) for 35-40 minutes (until a fork can easily pierce the skin).
  • Meanwhile - Slice the chicken breasts into strips. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs into three separate bowls.
  • Coat each strip with flour, then egg, and then roll in bread crumbs.
  • Pour oil in a cast-iron skillet to come ¼ inch up the side. Heat the oil over medium-high heat.
  • Fry the chicken strips (in batches if necessary) until golden brown on all sides and cooked through. Transfer to paper towels and remove pan from heat.
  • Once the squash has finished roasting - remove from the oven and let it set for a few minutes before turing over and pulling at it with a fork.
  • Shred the inside of each squash, being careful not to poke through the skin.
  • Pour marinara sauce over shredded squash. Top with chicken strips, then more marinara, and finish with mozzarella and parmesan cheese, and a pinch of Italian seasoning.
  • Return to the oven to bake for 10-15 minutes until the cheese has melted.
  • Enjoy!

Categories     Chicken Parmesan

Time 1h10m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (3 pound) spaghetti squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
extra-virgin olive oil cooking spray
2 large egg whites
½ cup blanched almond flour
2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
5 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breasts, pounded flat
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 (28 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Spray spaghetti squash flesh with cooking spray, then place cut-sides down on the prepared baking sheet. Cover with foil.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until tender when pierced with a fork, 40 to 45 minutes.
  • After the squash has been cooking for about 20 minutes, place egg whites in a shallow bowl. Combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper in a second bowl.
  • Dip each chicken breast in egg whites, then move to flour mixture and coat completely.
  • Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add chicken breasts and cook until they begin to brown slightly, about 7 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on the other sides, 7 to 8 more minutes.
  • As the chicken is cooking, combine tomatoes, garlic, parsley, and Italian seasoning in a large saucepan over medium-low heat; cook until hot, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove squash from the oven and use a fork to shred the flesh directly into the sauce. Mix until well coated and heated through, about 5 minutes.
  • Spoon squash-sauce mixture onto 5 plates and top each with a chicken breast.
