Simply delicious pesto spaghetti squash and balsamic chicken

So this is my quick go to meal. It's healthy, quick to make (max 10 mins), gluten-free, low fat AND delicious. Perfect for anyone with crazy digestive issues. Soooooo. ..
Ingredients:
Spaghetti Squash
Pesto (homemade or store bought)
Parmesan  (optional)
Chicken breast
Olive oil
Balsamic vinegar
Instructions:
Cut the squash in half, scoop out the seeds. Place the squash in a microwave safe dish, face down, with half an inch of water. Put in microwave on high for 5 minutes  (or until squash is easily scraped into spaghetti*).
Meanwhile, cut up chicken into bite size pieces. Heat oil in pan on medium heat. Place chicken in pan and coat in oil. Once chicken is cooked through, pour balsamic vinegar (to taste). Marinate for 2 minutes. Place aside.
Squash should be cooked and cooled down a bit. Scrape it out, mix with pesto (I use 1 1/2 tbsp per half) and parmesan cheese.
VoilĂ  !
