Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 450°F. Line rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray foil with cooking spray.
2
Sprinkle inside of the squash with salt and pepper to taste. Place squash halves, cut sides down, on prepared baking sheet. Bake until tender, about 45 minutes. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Scrape the squash into a large bowl and use a fork to separate into strands.
3
Meanwhile, place chicken in large nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook, breaking up chicken with a spoon, until no longer pink, about 6 minutes. Add marinara sauce, tomatoes, lemon juice, parsley, basil, and rosemary and cook, stirring often, until mixture comes to a simmer, about 5 minutes.
4
Once squash is cooked and separated into strands, preheat broiler. Spray 13 x 9-inch flameproof baking pan with cooking spray. Place the squash in baking pan and spread into an even layer; top with chicken mixture. Arrange cheese slices on top and broil until the cheese is bubbly, about 1 minute. Garnish with a few basil leaves (optional).
