→ For Serving
13 - ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

# How-To Steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Halve spaghetti squash lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Drizzle cut sides with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, place cut-side down on parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 40 to 45 minutes until flesh is tender and strands separate easily with a fork. Set aside to cool slightly.
02 - While squash roasts, season chicken pieces with salt, pepper, oregano, and half the lemon zest.
03 - Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and cooked through, approximately 6 to 8 minutes.
04 - Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in remaining lemon zest, lemon juice, and chopped parsley. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
05 - Once squash is cool enough to handle, use a fork to scrape the flesh into spaghetti-like strands.
06 - Divide squash strands among plates. Top each portion with lemon garlic chicken and pan sauce. Sprinkle with Parmesan and extra parsley. Serve with lemon wedges if desired.
