Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchini

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds to create boats.
  3. In a skillet, cook the ground chicken over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.

Notes

  • For meal prep, prepare the filling and stuff the zucchini boats. Store them covered in the refrigerator. Bake when ready to serve.
  • Reheat leftovers in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
  • You can substitute ground turkey for ground chicken.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
