Zucchini Boats With Chicken Recipes

CHICKEN PARMESAN ZUCCHINI BOATS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Slice off the ends of the zucchini and cut in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to remove the flesh of the zucchini, then chop the flesh and set aside. Place the zucchini boats on a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 teaspoon of the olive oil. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Bake for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken and cook, using a wooden spoon to break up the chicken, until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the Italian seasoning, garlic, zucchini flesh, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the sauce and mix well.
• Spoon some of the chicken mixture into each zucchini boat. Top each zucchini boat with some of the remaining marinara, then top with the mozzarella and a sprinkle of Parmesan. Bake until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, an additional 15 to 20 minutes.

ZUCCHINI BOATS WITH CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Cut zucchini in half and remove the seeds. Set aside.
• Place chicken, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese in a mixing bowl and mix well; season with salt and pepper. Transfer mixture into zucchini halves; place on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until zucchini boats are tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
• While zucchini bakes, heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Saute mushrooms in the hot oil until soft, about 5 minutes.
• At the same time, pour mushroom soup into a pot and cook over medium-low heat until warmed. Stir sauteed mushrooms into the soup. Spoon mixture over baked zucchini boats and serve.
