Provided by @MakeItYours

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!
