We have been on vacation for 2 weeks…eating out for 2 weeks. So basically we feel like a big pile of garbage. Now that we are back we are committed to eating healthy. This is one of our staples that we eat all the time. Replacing your noodles with spaghetti squash is a great way to cut calories and to sneak some veggies for your kids. Every since the first time we made this we rarely made the noodle version spaghetti.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts (I like to butterfly them or pound them with a meat mallet so they are thinner.)
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- jar of Spaghetti sauce
- mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking dish with foil and spray with cooking spray.
- Mix the Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, and garlic powder in a shallow dish. It really doesn't matter how much Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs you have. Just make sure it's equal parts. Melt butter in a shallow bowl. Dip the chicken in the melted butter, then the bread crumb mixture then place on the baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes. Spoon spaghetti sauce over the middle of the chicken and sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top for the last 5-10 minutes of baking. Serve over spaghetti with extra warm spaghetti sauce.
