Directions
Spaghetti Squash and Tuscan Kale
Preheat oven to 425°F on bake setting.
Drizzle cut side of squash with olive oil and place cut side down on a nonstick or parchment lined roasting pan. Bake for approximately 30-40 minutes until firm and tender and pierces easily with the tip of your knife. You do not want it mushy. Set aside to cool slightly.
With a fork, scrape out squash into long spaghetti like strands.
Heat a sauté pan over medium heat, add olive oil, chopped garlic, sliced kale and cook stirring frequently for 4 minutes.
Add the spaghetti squash, salt, pepper and sauté another 2 minutes. Remove from heat, set aside.
Chicken Parmesan
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Mix ½ cup Parmigianino with the Italian breadcrumbs in a shallow dish.
Lightly dip the chicken breast into the beaten egg and then dredge in the bread crumb mixture, pressing firmly on each side to get a good coating.
Place on a nonstick baking sheet, drizzle each with a little olive oil, and bake approximately 20-25 minutes until golden and thickest part of chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F. Always use a meat thermometer to determine the temperature.
Top each breast with 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce, a slice of mozzarella and the additional Parmigianino Reggiano cheese, return to the oven for 2-4 minutes to melt cheese.
Fresh Tomato Sauce and Assembly
In a sauté pan over medium heat, add the olive oil and chopped garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, do not brown.
Add the diced tomato, salt, pepper and simmer for 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in chopped basil.
Divide spaghetti squash Tuscan kale mixture among 4 plates.
Top with chicken breast. Spoon additional sauce on each plate.
Sprinkle each plate with additional grated Parmigianino-Reggiano cheese and chopped fresh basil leaves.
