Chicken Parmesan Zucchini Boats Recipe

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Place the zucchini in the baking dish cut-side up.

Step 6

Spoon the chicken mixture into the zucchini boats. Press the mixture down into the zucchini using the back of the spoon.

Step 7

Sprinkle the zucchini evenly with the parmesan, then the mozzarella cheese.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish with foil. Bake for 35 minutes.

Step 9

Sprinkle with fresh basil and serve.
