Rotisserie "Chicken Parmesan" with Spaghetti Squash & BasilRotisserie "Chicken Parmesan" with Spaghetti Squash & Basil — a 45-minute lunch recipe with 9 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

1 small pkg fresh basil

1 ½ (680 g) jars marinara sauce

1 ½ cups Parmesan cheese, shredded

1 ½ (850 g) whole chickens rotisserie chicken, white and dark meat

3 medium spaghetti squash

black pepper

extra virgin olive oil

garlic powder

salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 260°C (500°F) and place oven racks in the upper, middle, and lower positions. Line two baking sheet pans with aluminum foil to make cleanup easier (optional).

Wash, dry, and trim each squash, then halve lengthwise, and scrape out the seeds. Rub the inside of the squash with oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange halves, cut-side down, on the baking sheets.

Place squash on the upper and middle racks of the oven (it doesn't have to be fully heated) and roast until tender, so a knife can easily pierce through the flesh, 25-30 minutes.

Meanwhile, place chickens on a cutting board and, using your hands, remove meat from the skin and bones. Separate the meat into shred-like pieces and place in a large baking dish.

Wash and dry basil. Using a clean cutting board, pick basil leaves off the stems; roll up crosswise and thinly slice into ribbons. Add half to the baking dish with the chicken. (Reserve remaining basil for serving.)

Pour marinara sauce over the chicken, season with garlic powder, then stir to combine.

Place baking dish on the lower rack of the oven and bake until chicken and sauce are warmed through, 10-12 minutes.

When the squash is done, remove from oven and allow to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.

While the squash cools, remove chicken from the oven and sprinkle with cheese. Return baking dish to the oven and continue to bake until cheese is melted, 6-7 minutes. Remove from oven.

Scrape the inside of the squash with a fork to separate into spaghetti-like strands. (Use an oven mitt or towel to hold it with your other hand.)

To serve, divide squash and "chicken Parmesan" between plates or bowls; top with reserved basil. Enjoy!
