I am a personal chef and this recipe is awesome. When I scooped out the zucchini I use the insides when I sauteed the chicken sausage. Don't waste food it cost money.

Okay recipe, I modified slightly second time I made it and it turned out even better, in my opinion. I used sage pork sausage instead. Also saved the zucchini from about half the insides and cooked it into the sausage. Also added 1tsp of smoked paprika and 1tsp of chili powder. The sweetness of the sage sausage and the smokey/spicy flavor from the spices was delicious! Of course a little less healthy when you go the pork sausage route...but SOOO delicious. Agree it needs a little longer than 15 mins in the oven as well.

Cooked garlic with think sliced onions in skillet with zucchini and sausage. Added more flavor for sure as well as salt and pepper on the zucchini halfs

I just made this for the first time and it's delicious. It did take longer than 15 minutes to get the zucchini soft enough, I added, incrementally, about 15 minutes maybe. Also, I didn't have italian breadcrumbs on hand, just plain, so I added garlic powder, onion powder, oregano and parsley to it to compensate. Hubby says it'd be spectacular with some marinara sauce.

I tweaked the recipe a bit my best cook time was about 20-22 min to give the zucchini a bit of crunch, you want to save some of the guts and use that when getting your sausage and put it in the boat to keep it from drying out. Overall really good

The concept is great but the meat itself is incredibly dry. If I make this a second time I would add onions, chili powder on the zucchini (for that smokey flavor), and cook the meat with either chicken broth or a tomato sauce. Also, 15 minutes is not long enough to cook this. At least 30

Let me help you take this recipe one step further! 
When you scoop out the zucchini save all the bits to mix in with the chicken sausage. 
You need to bake the zucchini for 15 minutes while the chicken sausage mixture cooks (season zucchini with olive oil and pepper). 
Cook the chicken sausage but use ground Italian chicken sausage instead of links. Add in zucchini (that you scooped out) and marinara sauce. To help make it less watery add in Italian bread crumbs. 
Scoop mixture into your zucchini and top with cheese (I used Parmesan because that’s what I had on hand)
Then bake again for another 15 minutes and enjoy!

Delicious and super easy! I put spicy touch on top of mine - perfection!

This is delicious! I didn't have zucchini halves, so i used planks. Still tasted amazing!

I just Made this recipe last night and used the insides of the zucchini. I did make some changes to the recipe though. I did 5 cloves of garlic versus the 2 and added a chopped jalapeño to it as well. The only thing different I would do to this recipe for next time is probably add a little chicken stock to the stuffing mixture to have it be a little more moist to make the cook go faster.

I made this tonight for my family and i spiced it up a little and it was delicious.

Amazing!  A weekly favorite dish for our family

Wow. This was SUPER dry. Will not make again.

Super delish. Yes make sure to added the sausage into the bowl with the zucchini . I also added about a cup of pasta sauce to make it more moist!
