• Scoop out the seeds - brush with oil, salt, and pepper.
• Roast face down in a preheated oven at 375˚F (190˚C) for 35-40 minutes (until a fork can easily pierce the skin).
• Meanwhile - Slice the chicken breasts into strips. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs into three separate bowls.
• Coat each strip with flour, then egg, and then roll in bread crumbs.
• Pour oil in a cast-iron skillet to come ¼ inch up the side. Heat the oil over medium-high heat.
• Fry the chicken strips (in batches if necessary) until golden brown on all sides and cooked through. Transfer to paper towels and remove pan from heat.
• Once the squash has finished roasting - remove from the oven and let it set for a few minutes before turing over and pulling at it with a fork.
• Shred the inside of each squash, being careful not to poke through the skin.
• Pour marinara sauce over shredded squash. Top with chicken strips, then more marinara, and finish with mozzarella and parmesan cheese, and a pinch of Italian seasoning.
• Return to the oven to bake for 10-15 minutes until the cheese has melted.

Add the bell pepper, scallion whites, cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until the peppers are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the half-and-half and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the liquid has reduced slightly and starts to thicken, 5 to 7 minutes.
