First...preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Cut the spaghetti squash in half length wise, scoop out the seeds, and place inside side down on baking sheet. This will have to cook for 30 minutes depending on the size of the squash, so put in oven while prepping the chicken. You can glaze with olive oil and add salt and pepper, but we find the squash gets too oily when we do that, so we just like to bake it plain and season later.
This will be the easiest chicken parmesan you've ever made. Ready?
Place raw chicken breasts in a baking dish (side by side) and salt and pepper them. Drizzle with olive oil, cover in Italian Nut Crumbs (generously), and throw in the same oven for 20 minutes. We like to add a few chunks of butter on top of the Nut Crumbs, but you don't have to if you don't want to! After the twenty minutes, take the chicken out of the oven, cover in marinara, parmesan cheese, and mozzarella cheese and throw back in the oven for another 10-15 minutes. At the end, turn on the broiler for a few minutes to brown the cheese and you are done!
Serve with spaghetti squash and a side salad and enjoy!
How easy was that?
