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)

Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Take your spaghetti squash and lightly oil and season with salt and pepper. Place facedown on a tray and bake for 35-50 minutes at 375°F depending on the squash size.
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.
Add your mozzarella. Cover with sauce and sprinkle 1-2 tsp of parmesan on top of each. Place back in the oven and broil on high until cheese is melted.
