Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 medium zucchini
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound ground chicken
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups homemade or jarred marinara (I like Rao's)
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan

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.
