Equipment

  • Baking dish
  • Mixing Bowls

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground or shredded chicken
  • 3 large zucchini
  • 2 cups marinara sauce you can home make if preferred
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 cups mozzarella
  • 1 cup parmesan
  • 1 cup panko crumbs optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180c
  • Combine ground chicken with the marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese.
  • Cut your zucchinis in half, and then use a melon baller or spoon to dig out the seeds. PRO TIP - as you may well know I am a firm believer of zero waste, so put this aside to include in a salad or vegetable medley.
  • Place the dug out zucchinis into a greased oven dish
  • Generously fill them with your chicken mixture, and then top with lots of mozzarella and parmesan cheese. NOTE - if you have panko crumbs mix with parmesan cheese and sprinkle on top for extra crunch
  • Bake for about 25 minutes,
