INGREDIENTS

  • Vegetables

    • 1 (3 pound) spaghetti squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
    • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
    • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

  • Cooking Aerosols and Oils

    • extra-virgin olive oil cooking spray
    • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • Protein

    • 🥚 2 large egg whites
    • 5 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breasts, pounded flat

  • Pantry Staples

    • ½ cup blanched almond flour
    • 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
    • 🧂 sea salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • Canned Goods

    • 🍅 1 (28 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes

  • Seasonings

    • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2

Spray spaghetti squash flesh with cooking spray, then place cut-sides down on the prepared baking sheet. Cover with foil.

3

Roast in the preheated oven until tender when pierced with a fork, 40 to 45 minutes.

4

Place egg whites in a shallow bowl. Combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper in a second bowl.

5

Dip each chicken breast in egg whites, then move to flour mixture and coat completely.

6

Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add chicken breasts and cook until they begin to brown slightly, about 7 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown on the other sides, 7 to 8 more minutes.

7

As the chicken is cooking, combine tomatoes, garlic, parsley, and Italian seasoning in a large saucepan over medium-low heat; cook until hot, 7 to 10 minutes.

8

Remove squash from the oven and use a fork to shred the flesh directly into the sauce. Mix until well coated and heated through, about 5 minutes.

9

Spoon squash-sauce mixture onto 5 plates and top each with a chicken breast.
