Servings: 1 - 1 Lean & Green, 3 Condiments & 1 Healthy Fat
Ingredients
- 1 cup prepared Spaghetti Squash Strands (2 Greens)
- ½ cup diced Italian tomatoes - less than 5 g carbs per serving., drained (1 Green)
- 2 Light Laughing Garlic and Herb Cheese Wedges (1 Healthy Fat)
- ¼ cup 2% reduced fat Mozzarella or Italian Cheese Blend, Shredded (¼ Lean)
- 7 oz raw Chicken Breasts, cubed - should yield 4.5 oz cooked (¾ Lean)
- 1 tbsp Wishbone Light Italian Salad Dressing (1.5 Condiments)
- 2 tsp Parmesan Cheese, grated (⅔ Condiment)
Steps
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- Marinate chicken in Italian dressing if desired.
- subheading: Prepare spaghetti squash:
- Poke holes in squash.
- To make it easier to cut in half, microwave for 3 minutes, check on it and microwave for 3 more min. This time depends on the size of the squash. Let cool.
- Cut squash in half and scoops seeds out (I use a grapefruit spoon)
- Drizzle a little olive oil and sprinkle with pepper and any of your favorite seasonings.
- Place squash cut side up in oven at 350°F - 400°F for 30 to 40 minutes. I always check on the squash to make sure it doesn't get mushy.
- subheading: Prepare the rest of the ingredients:
- Spray a nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Add chicken and cook until chicken is no longer pink, I do not cook the chicken all the way because it's still going to bake in the oven. Make sure you have 4.5 oz of chicken when cooked.
- Set aside chicken. I usually put in a throw away bowl so I can use the same sauté pan for the squash.
- Sauté 1 cup spaghetti squash, Italian diced tomatoes*, laughing cow cheese wedges and mozzarella until cheese is melted.
- Combine the chicken with the squash mixture, place in a baking dish. Sprinkle the top with parmesan cheese. I usually add a little more mozzarella.
- Bake for 7 to 10 minutes or until cheese has melted.
Notes
- * Rotel instead of regular diced tomatoes
