Ingredients
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- ¾ cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- 2 chicken breast cut crosswise in half, boneless skinless
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 egg beaten, large
- 1 ½ cups tomato sauce
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped fresh leaves
For the spaghetti squash
- 1 spaghetti squash 2-3 pounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
- Cut the squash in half lengthwise from stem to tail and scrape out the seeds. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Place squash, cut-side down, onto the prepared baking dish. Place into oven and roast until tender, about 35-45 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let rest until cool enough to handle.
- Using a fork, scrape the flesh to create long strands.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
- In a large bowl, combine breadcrumbs and Parmesan; set aside.
- Working one at a time, dredge chicken in flour, dip into eggs, then dredge in breadcrumbs mixture, pressing to coat.
- Add chicken to the skillet and cook until evenly golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Let cool before dicing into bite-size pieces.
- Preheat oven to broil. Lightly oil a large oven-proof skillet or baking dish or coat with nonstick spray.
- Add spaghetti squash to the prepared skillet or baking dish and layer with chicken and tomato sauce; sprinkle with cheese.
- Place into oven and cook until melted and golden brown, about 2 minutes.
- Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.
