Indian Curry Chicken with Grated Squash

I have been craving some Indian food like crazy since starting Medifast.  So I decided to whip this up!  I actually made 4 Lean and Green meals to enjoy this week.


Indian Curry Chicken

1.5 lbs frozen boneless skinless chicken breast
2 TB Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon Onion Powder
1 teaspoon Paprika
2 teaspoon Curry Powder



Grated Squash

1 Spaghetti Squash
1 Green Bell Pepper
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon fennel seeds

Serving Size and Notes: 
This makes 4 Lean and Green Meals, but not complete.  There is still a couple of ounces of lean and 1 serving of green not used.  Please be sure to incorporate this in your diet or increase the recipe.

This exact recipe yielded me: 2 4 ounce servings of chicken, 2 5 ounce servings of chicken, 1.5 healthy fat servings per meal and 2 higher carb green servings per meal.
Please note: there are 4.25 condiments per serving which is over Medifast guidelines.

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Cut Spaghetti Squash in half and scope out seeds













2. Fill a baking dish with 2 inches of water. Vent the squash by slicing with a knife.  Bake for 30 minutes.













3. Bake for 30 minutes and remove from oven.

















4. Scope Spaghetti Squash out with a fork.

















5. Chop up Green Bell Peppers













6. Healthy saute using 2 TB of water













7. Add mustard seeds, cumin seeds and fennel seeds













8. Mix together with Spaghetti Squash in a serving dish













9. Mix together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and curry together in a large zip lock bag.

















10. Add chicken and coat well.  Let marinade for for 30 minutes.













11. Spray a baking dish with Pam and add chicken.  Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.













12. Remove from oven and weigh chicken into portions.  This chicken made 2 5 ounce portions and 2 4 ounce portions.













13. Divide into containers for the fridge!













14. Serve and enjoy!

Looks great! I love curry. The spaghetti squash is a great idea to keep the carbs low.
