Ingredients
For The Boats:
- 4 medium zucchinis halved lengthwise
For The Filling:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 pound cooked chicken breast shredded
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
For Garnish:
- Fresh basil chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Prep The Zucchini Boats:
- Prepare the zucchini by scooping out the seeds to create boats. Set aside the scooped flesh for use in other recipes.
Make The Filling:
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic. Sauté until onions are translucent, about 7-10 minutes.
- Add the shredded chicken and marinara sauce. Cook until the mixture is heated through, roughly 3-4 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Assemble And Bake The Zucchini Boats:
- Divide the filling evenly among zucchini boats, then place the stuffed zucchinis in a baking dish.
- Top each zucchini boat with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the zucchini is fork-tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden, about 30 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh basil. Serve immediately.
