The ingredients for Lightened Up Chicken Parm are:

8 oz. boneless skinless chicken tenders (about 6 tenders)
1 small spaghetti squash (about 8 inches long, 4 inches wide - yields about 3 cups of squash)
1 small baby zucchini (about 1 cup sliced)
1 small yellow squash (about 1 cup sliced)
1 cup fresh spinach
1 tsp. crushed garlic
1 tbsp. olive oil (divided in half)
1.5 cups low sodium pasta sauce (Prego Heart Smart)
2 oz. part-skim mozzarella
.5 tsp. Mrs. Dash seasoning (salt free)

Here is how you make Lightened Up Chicken Parm:

Cut the squash in half length wise. (This is quite difficult - the squash is very dense. Be careful and use a good knife!)Scoop out the seeds and "guts" with a spoon.Place the squash facedown in and 8X8 microwaveable dish with a little water in the bottom.Microwaving times will vary, but it should be between 8-12 mins. Check it with a knife - it should slide in easily.While the squash is cooking, slice the zucchini and yellow squash.Heat .5 tbsp of olive oil in a saucepan. Add the garlic, zucchini and squash. Sautee for about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. (Sautee to your taste. I like my veggies right in the middle - not too soft, not too crunchy.)Add the spinach and sautee for another 2-3 mins.Remove the veggies from the pan and place in a bowl covered in tin foil to keep warm.Heat the remaining olive oil in the same pan.Season the chicken with the Mrs. Dash.Place the chicken and cook for about 4-5 minutes each side (cook til no longer pink in the center!)Meanwhile, remove the spaghetti squash from the microwave and use a fork to shred the squash. It should resemble thin pasta noodles.Divide the spaghetti squash into two servings (about 1.5 cups each) on plates.Divide the veggies between the two plates (about 1-1.25 cups each)Place 4 oz. of chicken on each plate.Top with .75 cup pasta sauce.Top with 1 oz. mozzarella.Enjoy!Makes 2 servingsNumber of Servings: 2Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user COURTNIZZLE82.
