Steps:
- With a sharp knife, slice the squash in half. (If the squash is too tough - puncture in several places forming a dotted line around the squash. Microwave for 3-5 minutes to soften. Allow to cool before cutting in half - following the dotted line).
- 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.
- Enjoy!

- Preheat oven to 400F degrees. Coat with the inside of each squash with 1 tablespoon of oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Place the four squash halves flesh side down on a baking sheet. Bake for 50 minutes, or until the squash is fork tender.
- While the squash is baking, prepare the chicken. In a large bowl, combine the chili powder, oregano, garlic powder, cumin, cinnamon, lime zest and juice. Add the chicken pieces and mix until thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- About 10 minutes before squash is finished cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers and onion slices and saute until tender-crisp (about 5-6 minutes). Remove from pan and set aside. In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and saute the chicken pieces over medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes. Add the pepper and onion mixture back to the pan, mix together with the chicken, and saute for another minute. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- When the spaghetti squash is finished cooking, remove from oven and increase temperature to 425F degrees. Turn each squash half flesh side up and fill each half with an equal amount of the chicken fajita mixture. Top with the shredded cheese and place back in the oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

- Cut off the stems of the spaghetti squash. Next, cut each squash in half lengthwise. Spaghetti squash can be hard to cut, so work carefully. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and the attached stringy, darker flesh – discard.
- Brush some olive oil on the inside of each squash half and then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the squash face down on the baking sheet.
- Bake for about 40 to 50 minutes, or until the squash is tender (if you take a fork, the flesh should easily scrape into spaghetti-like strands). Let cool for about 5 to 10 minutes, so they are easier to handle.
