Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cook and dice chicken into bize-size pieces and set aside. This is a great time to used frozen crock pot chicken too.
- Cut each squash in half lengthwise and scoop out flesh, leaving a ¼-inch shell (careful not to cut through the shell).
- Dice the squash that you scooped out.
- Add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil or olive oil to a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat.
- Add onion and garlic and cook for about 5 minutes.
- Then add the chopped squash and tomatoes to the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes, until it has softened as well.
- Add diced chicken, basil, oregano, and pepper and stir well.
- Place the zucchini halves onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
- Divide the chicken mixture evenly onto each of the 4 halves.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven and top with mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
- ENJOY!!
Notes
- You can use any meat you prefer for your zucchini boats. Ground beef, ground turkey or even ground sausages are all a great choice.
- Mozzarella cheese is my preference for this recipe. Romano or parmesan cheese are other nice substitutions.
- Use a jar spaghetti sauce instead making your own sauce for even faster prep.
