How to Make Spaghetti Squash Chicken Parm Boats

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Haverford chapter.

This recipe was the first recipe I encountered when making spaghetti squash for the first time. I feel #blessed because I can be very picky and I think I would have decided I didn’t like spaghetti squash if it weren’t for this meal.

I honestly don’t ever really want to eat chicken parmesan over a plate of spaghetti again if that spaghetti isn’t in squash form. I feel really strongly about this and I don’t feel as though my opinion can be swayed.

(Also once I made this for my family and they were extremely surprised at my abilities which was both hurtful and gratifying at the same time)

    Heat the oil in the frying pan. Coat your chicken in flour, then in egg, then in bread crumbs. Place the chicken in the oil and cook 3-7 minutes on each side depending on thickness.

    Slice the chicken into thin strips. Slice your mozzarella into smaller pieces for spreading.

    After the squash is done, scrape the insides with a fork to make it stringy. Place the chicken strips inside.

I'm currently a junior English major, psychology minor at Haverford and I play field hockey there. Due to my heightened activity level as an athlete, I'm perpetually hungry and would say that food is one of my great passions. I also really love to write, so writing about food is about as good as it gets.
