Chimmi-Chicken Spaghetti Squash Dinner
This is about the most flavor I can pack into one meal.
Arguably the the gateway dinner for the "anti vegetable" crew.
This tastes 1million percent better than it looks. Which, really doesn’t seem like it’s saying much....
The only time this color has ever looked good is against Kurt’s eyes (and even then...)
For the cooking newbies, may I introduce you to SEARING? Heating a skillet or a sheetpan FIRST, then adding your protein or your veggies. This allows the chicken to have those nice caramelized sides!

-
2 chicken breasts, diced
-
juice of 1/2 lemon
-
minced garlic
-
salt, pepper, dried oregano (or whatever dried herb seasoning you have on hand)

salt and pepper
