A New Chicken Parmesan

On my new eating plan, I am monitoring my carbohydrate intake to a minimum.  So when I decided I wanted chicken parmesan for dinner, I needed another option for pasta.  While surfing Pinterest, a past-time I admit distracts me pretty often, I came upon a pin for how to cook spaghetti squash.  I had heard people talk about spaghetti squash as a substitute for pasta, but I had never tried it and thought, "Why not now?"

I combined two recipes to make my chicken parmesan tonight.  One was a baked option for the chicken and the other was for how to cook the spaghetti squash.  For this being my first time roasting and eating spaghetti squash, it wasn't half bad!  I had my hubby pick up a spaghetti squash from the store.  I sent Justin instructions on how to cook the squash and he did a great job!  He preheated the oven to 375 degrees, cut the squash in half length-wise, scooped out the seeds, and placed them insides down on a foil-lined baking sheet and baked for an hour.  After the squash was done roasting, we took it out of the oven and took a fork and pulled the strands apart.

We put some of our favorite spaghetti sauce on the "pasta" and then topped it with our chicken parmesan.  Sprinkle on a little grated parmesan on top and there you have a delicious, healthy meal for two!  I am definitely happy I tried this healthy alternative to chicken parmesan and I can't wait to try some more healthy recipes in my attempt to make a more healthy and physically fit me!

The good book says in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?  You are not your own; you were bought at a price.  Therefore honor God with your body."
