These Stuffed zucchini boats are easy, Keto friendly and low carb. Stuffed with chicken, marinara and topped with cheese, they make a quick and easy meal


Ingredients



  • 3 zucchinis

  • Cooking spray

  • 3/4 lb. chicken breast cut into cubes

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil

  • 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning

  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

  • 3/4 cup pasta sauce

  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese


Instructions



  • Preheat oven to 400°F.

  • To prepare the zucchini, cut the zucchini in half lengthwise, then use a spoon or melon baller to scoop the center flesh and seeds from the zucchini. Repeat for the remaining zucchini.

  • Place the zucchini in a baking dish or cookie sheet cut-side up and lightly coat with cooking spray. Place in the pre-heated oven for 15 minutes until the zucchini cooks slightly and becomes tender.

  • Meanwhile, to prepare the chicken, heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken along with the seasoning, salt and pepper.

  • Cook for 8-10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Add the pasta sauce and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  • Scoop the chicken mixture into the zucchini boats. Top the chicken with parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese. Return the zucchini boats to the oven for 5 more minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

  • Sprinkle with fresh basil and parmesan cheese, if desired, and serve.


Notes


Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 3-4 days in the fridge.


Make Ahead: You can make the scoop out the flesh of the zucchini one day in advance to make the recipe quicker the day you’re ready to eat it.Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. If you’d like to substitute the chicken for ground chicken, turkey or even ground beef, that’s totally fine.
