Step 1

Preheat oven to 400ºF

Step 2

Slice the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and ribbing. Drizzle the inside of the squash with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper

Step 3

Place the spaghetti squash cut side down on the baking sheet and use a fork to poke holes. Roast for 30 to 45 minutes or until lightly browned on the outside, fork tender, but still a little bit firm. The time will vary depending on the size of your squash.

Remove from the oven and flip the squash so that it’s cut side up. When cool to the touch, use a fork to scrape and fluff the strands from the side of the squash

Step 5

Preheat oven to 425ºF. Grease a sheet pan with 2 tbsp olive oil and set aside

Step 6

Slice chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make 4 fillets total. Pound to even thickness if desired

Step 7

In a shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, parmesan, garlic powder, oregano, salt & pepper. In a small bowl, whisk the egg

Step 8

Dip each chicken fillet into the egg mixture then into the bread crumb mixture, coating both sides well. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 9

Bake for 15 minutes then flip onto the other side and top each chicken with 3-4 tbsp of marinara sauce and a generous handful or mozzarella cheese (or 1 fresh slice)

Step 10

Return to the oven and bake an additional 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the chicken is cooked through. Brown under broiler for 2-3 minutes if desired
