Parmesan Chicken and Spaghetti Squash

Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cook Time: 1 Hour
Serves: 4-5

1 Small Bowl
1 Medium Bowl
Plate
Large Frying Pan
Large Deep Baking Pan

1 Spaghetti Squash
2 Chicken Breasts cut into slices or cubed
6 Tbsp Almond Flour
3 Tbsp Flax Seed Meal
3 Tbsp Parmesan Cheese
2 Eggs
3 Tbsp Olive Oil

To cook the spaghetti Squash cut it in half short ways, empty out the seeds and pulp and stick them cut side down in the deep baking dish with about 1 inch of water on the bottom. Bake on 400 degrees for about an hour, or when the outer skin browns and is soft to the touch. (it will be extremely hot, use a pot holder or fork).

While Squash is cooking you can cook up the chicken, which can take about 15-20 minutes.

Preheat a Large frying pan on medium high heat with the 3 Tbsp Oil. Put eggs into a bowl and mix until well blended, onto a plate put the Flour, Flax seed and Parmesan and stir them all together. Take each piece of chicken and coat it with the eggs then roll it into the Flour mix. Place each piece of the chicken into the pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side browning each side. Lower heat to medium and cook the chicken until it is completely done.

Remove the Squash from the over and carefully remove the inside of the squash into a medium sized bowl.

You can mix the chicken together with the squash or serve on the side. For a good Alfredo sauce to put on the top of it all check out the 3 Cheese Alfredo Sauce recipe.

Minutes to Prepare: 10
Number of Servings: 8

Ingredients

    1/2 tbsp butter
    8 oz nonfat cream cheese (can use regular or light cream cheese instead)
    2 cloves garlic (or equivalent)
    1/4 tsp black pepper
    2 C nonfat milk
    6 oz mozzarella cheese (3/4 cup)
    2 tbsp Parmesan cheese (or to your taste. Calories are for 2 tbsp)
    salt or garlic salt to season


Directions
-Melt butter in sauce pan on medium
-Add cream cheese and stir till melted and creamy
-add garlic and pepper
-Gradually pour in milk until well blended and creamy
-Stir in mozzarella until melted.
-Mix in Parmesan
add salt as desired

It thickens as it cools. Thin with nonfat milk if needed.

Note: Because nonfat cheeses don't melt quite the same as high-fat cheeses, you may need to pop the sauce in a blender to smooth it out, or use a hand blender.

This recipe is good for an alternative pizza sauce too, and anything else you could think of. We also thought that the sauce came out a bit thick so we added in an extra 1/2 cup milk.
