CHICKEN PARMESAN ZUCCHINI BOATS RECIPE

Ingredients

• 4 medium zucchini about 1 3/4 pounds
• 1 lb. ground chicken
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
• 2 garlic cloves minced
• 1 cup pasta sauce
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• Optional: sliced fresh basil for topping

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Place a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and break it apart with a spoon. Add the salt and pepper. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until chicken is cooked through. Stir occasionally and break down the chicken into small chunks.
• Reduce the heat to low. Add the garlic to the chicken. Cook 1 minute stirring often. Add the pasta sauce. Cook 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• As the chicken cooks, cut the zucchini in half, lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop the seeds and center out of each zucchini half, leaving a 1/4 inch thick zucchini boat.
• Place the zucchini in the baking dish cut-side up.
• Spoon the chicken mixture into the zucchini boats. Press the mixture down into the zucchini using the back of the spoon.
• Sprinkle the zucchini evenly with the parmesan, then the mozzarella cheese.
• Cover the baking dish with foil. Bake for 35 minutes.
• Sprinkle with fresh basil and serve.
