Well, it looks like Winter's back... in Spring no less!! ! Perfect time to make a new recipe filled with heart-warming flavours using my new favourite veg... the Spaghetti Squash!
It's a version of the Chicken Parmesan stuffed Spaghetti Squash you see on social media... you know.... the movies. I decided to give it a try, and I was not disappointed. It was delicious- and no pasta involved, just the squash that looks like pasta.
You just need to bake your squash in the oven (see recipe below) and in the meantime, cook your chicken in a pan. You'll be amazed at how little ingredients you'll need.
Then you just assemble it- marinara sauce, chicken, more marinara sauce and then a little cheese on top.
Here's how you do it:
Ingredients
- Spaghetti Squash
- 1 jar Marinara Sauce
- Mozzarella cheese
- 2 Breaded Chicken Breast, cooked (I hand breaded with the trio flour/egg/breadcrumbs)
- Salt
- Pepper
- Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp Olive Oil
- Preheat your oven to 375°. Prepare a baking sheet with foil.
- Cut your spaghetti squash in half, lengthwise. Take the 1/2 tsp of olive oil and put 1/4 tsp on each half of the spaghetti squash.
- Using your salt, pepper and garlic powder, sprinkle all over each half of the spaghetti squash.
- Place the spaghetti squash face down on the baking sheet and bake for 50 minutes.
- Using a fork, gently pull the strands of squash away from the sides of the squash.
- Cut up your cooked chicken breast and place the chicken breast on top of the spaghetti squash.
- Either make your own marinara sauce or use your favorite jarred sauce. Spoon the sauce over top of the chicken and spaghetti squash.
- Sprinkle your desired amount of Mozzarella cheese on each half and bake in the oven for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly!
There you have it! So delicious served with a side of broccoli- that's right- more nutrient filled veggies! It's really a new family favourite!
