Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400*.

- Dip each piece of chicken into the egg and then coat with the dry mixture. Add each piece of chicken to a greased baking dish.
- Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes on each side or until well done.
- While the chicken is cooking, add water to a dutch oven or large stock pot to submerge the spaghetti squash, before placing it in the water, cut a few slits around it. Warm up to a boil and let boil until soft, about 15 minutes.
- Once soft, cut in half, scrape seeds out, then use a fork to scrape out the inside of the spaghetti squash. Use paper towels to ring out any water and set aside.
- Add half the jar of sauce to the spaghetti squash and mix well, then place it in a casserole dish.
- Once the chicken is fully cooked, place it on top of the spaghetti squash.
- Pour another cup of sauce over the chicken and spaghetti squash, then top the entire dish with the remaining cheese.
- Bake for 10 minutes or until cheese melts.
- Once cheese is melted, it can be put on broil for 5 minutes to brown, watch carefully as all oven temperatures may vary.
- Remove and serve.
