Ingredients

  • 1 lbground chicken
  • 3 largezucchinis ((or 4 small))
  • 2 cupsmarinara or pasta sauce
  • 3 cupsfreshly shredded mozzarella
  • 1 cupshredded parmesan
  • salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook and chop the ground chicken until no longer pink. Season to taste with salt, pepper and garlic powder.

  2. 2

    Mix in about 2 cups of tomato sauce with the chicken and turn the heat to low so it can simmer and absorb the sauce for a bit (you don't want it to be too runny, so if you're using a thin sauce you may need to use a little less).

  3. 3

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees, and grease a 9x13 baking dish.

  4. 4

    While the chicken and sauce are simmering, de-stem and cut your zucchinis in half length wise. Use a spoon or melon baller to carve out the guts. *See tip in notes for what to do with the guts.

  5. 5

    Mix in 2 cups of shredded mozzarella and 1/2 cup of your parmesan to the chicken and sauce mixture; stir until melted.

  6. 6

    Spoon the mixture onto your zucchini boats, and then sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and parmesan over top.

  7. 7

    Bake uncovered in the center rack for 25 minutes, and then switch your oven to broil for a few minutes to brown the cheese.
